Time is ticking, and there’s no where else to run

The thought of change is sickening, but I refuse to be done

Done with the chaos and pain that eats me alive

Efforts may be in vain, but I’m just trying to survive

I try to forgive and forget, but my memory likes to fail me

Some things I do regret, but I’m done taking a knee

I quit being sorry for myself and wishing I had more

I won’t put my friends up on that high shelf, even if it makes my heart sore

Betrayals seem so normal now, it’s actually kinda sad

So to myself I will make this vow, I will stop being mad

So take your hit, try to slow me down

But I won’t throw a fit, and you’ll be left with your frown

I can unblock and not hate, but apologies seem to be lost with the baggage

I know some can relate, and all that’s left is the damage

But I learned from the past, like everyone must

People can leave so fast, so who’s left to trust?
