Free

Life at twenty two

Is something I never thought I'd experience

I never planned to live this long

I wasn't prepared

But life has its twisted ways

Of showing me I'm meant to live

I wasn't meant to die

When I desperately tried to

I just wish it was easier

To breathe

To live

To exist inside my own mind

I wish I could remember

What it feels like to be okay

What it feels like to smile

What it feels like to be happy

I wish the noise in my head would quiet

And my soul would be at peace

I want to be free of the sorrows that bind me

And tell me I'll never make it out alive
