| Who We Used to Be |

Crush me, bury me

Lay me in the depths

It would take a miracle to find another breathe

Finally you are free

I’ll find you underneath

You’ll never experience rejection’s cutting teeth

Wake up, don’t go

Please don’t leave me here

You’re the only piece of me free of inner fear

Taken, breaking

Obsessed is a word

I’d use to define the crushing weight of not being heard

Why did you go?

Where did you go?

Questions flood my mind – I can’t find my sense of control

Let me live free

Give me a chance to breathe

I’ll show you that we can swim freely in the sea

No more waiting

I’ll start praying

I promise that we will become who we used to be
