My Hurt Child

This is the life in my mind
Future haunts me
Reality is different
When I can't see

My hurt child is taking me away
As I blame myself along the way
I'll expand to feel a better me
Allow myself to be

Every time I'm here
The time is now
But it won't stay
Nothing threatens me
These are just lies
Please walk away

I move around to break through
I'm in control
Consistency for stepping
Out of this hole

Happiness won't happen till you stop
Chasing it, you have to let it drop
I choose to be patient with myself
Instead of someone else

It's time to be myself
Be myself for good
There's no time for giving up
There's always hope
