It's Time

I’m fine.

I know I’m crying,

but that’s normal.

I’m just fine.

I feel like I’m dying,

but who doesn’t?

I’ll be just fine

is all I need to tell myself.

My past is proof

I will survive.

Sometimes I just need a little sympathy

And someone to help me believe in tomorrow,

That there’s something worth all this sorrow,

And that something is me.

So I take my stand, turn up my favorite tune,

And run straight into the spirit-sucking storm.

I dare the darkness to bring its doom

knowing grace will come in its wildest form.

Because the hour has come

where I accept I can’t be what they want.

Because it’s time

To do what I should have done from the start.

It’s time to be who I need me to be
