I Couldn't Just Let it Be

This morning I woke up in broken spirit
Because you weren’t with me
And I didn’t want to rise and face the music
I couldn’t just let it be
 
My grudge has overtaken my soul
I’ll not let it be, but let it go
And I no longer wish to survive
Your face I wish not to know
 
Too many days, I hope for an idea
About a frog kissed into a prince
And now I see the reality
And that fantasy needs a rinse
 
So I’ll be on my way for good
No one ever sees me anyway
After all, I’m just a frog lower than scum
Don’t let me interrupt your day
 
What is the point in trying?
The marry-go-round of hell never ends
There is no freedom out of this torture cycle
Too late to make amends
 
I’m all alone all day and night
And more and more I question the game
And why I even care to try anymore
As I’m filled with self-loathing and shame
 
This morning I woke up in an effort not to at all
Let me remain in forever sleep
Free from the tragedies, the deceit, the betrayal
Away from the suffering, the reasons in which I weep

(2015)
