Another year that
You’ve gone away
I want you back
But you can never stay
You sit in my mind
All day and night
I can never win
This internal fight
Lets see its been
Ten years
Countless tears
Another unwilling victim
Of depression-anxiety
I can never be put
Under the stigma
Of “normal”
I never got to give a formal
Goodbye
I need to let go
But I just can’t
I know
I need to let go
But I just can’t
I can’t
I can’t
Let you go
