How It Is
May 30, 2010
I close my eyes
And just try to breathe
Try not to cry
Try not to think
I am alone
But, this is the way
The way to happiness
One day
I have to be strong
Within myself
I have to learn
That I don't need help
From now on it doesn't matter
If I lose all my friends
They weren't mine to begin with
It was all pretend
But I can't be mad
Or apologize for changing me
This is how it is
How it has to be
So I crawl in my corner
My head in my hands
My mind made up
Content with my plans
I close my eyes
And just try to breathe
Try not to cry
Try not to think
