Changes

Many new changes taking shape

Sometimes I feel the need for tape

Now hear me out it's not what you think

I just need something to hold together, well, me.

Living now on my own

New place, new phone

New job and new friends

I'm scared one wrong move will make it end

I love my newfound independence

Looking at the old me in remembrance

I don't want to go back to the shackles and chains

I don't want to go go back to all the previous pains

Yet here I stand and stay

Anxiety for days

I have a good life, I'm making it through

But how long before it changes and I fall too

The spaces between what is and once was

I don't want to fall through, yet I try not to fuss

Because I've got it good, life is great

But I just have so much on my plate

I've turned to alcohol, and cigarettes, almost drugs

But sometimes I just need a few really good hugs

Someone to pat my back and say "I'm here"

Someone to put in perspective all I fear

"Everything will be okay, it'll be just fine

Just remember, I'm here by your side"
