These cuts on my wrist, br Sting as you, br Rub salt in them, br Salt from tears I’ve cried, br Time to dry my eyes, br No more will I hide, br From harsh words, br That you lied, br I’m leaving it behind, br As I run away. br br Time to make a change, br Time to strike a pose, br Time to smile and laugh, br Time to forget those, br Those who’ve left me to waste, br Those who brought me so far down, br Time to lift me up, br Off of this dirty, br Bloody ground. br br The blood that runs, br Hot from veins, br The pulse of my heart, br Pumping the blood faster, br As I run, br Far away from those who try to hurt me, br With words and lies, br They cut my sides, br They swat at my hands, br As I reach for hope, br Time to wash the blood away, br As I start a new day. br br Time to stop, br Stop lying to myself, br Saying I’m alright, br When I am really not, br Time to make it, br Make it stop, br The pain and lies, br The high I get, br When I bleed, br I can’t do this, br Not anymore, br Time to change. br br I know, br I know I should stand, br Tall against them, br The ones I run from, br I shouldn’t run, br I should fight, br But my strength and might, br Have left me in a sudden burst, br Of fear, br Fear for my sanity, br Which as we speak, br Hangs in the balance, br Of being lost, br And letting go. br br Time to stand up, br Time to strike a pose, br Time to Laugh and Smile, br Time to scream at those, br Those who have hurt me, br Who left me all alone, br Those who made me crazy, br Those who put me in this, br Bloody hole. br br Time for change. br br I need a change. br br Come on and change. br br Take on a change. br br Headstrong change. br br Lifelong change. br br Please just change. br br Time for change.br br Emily E.
