Last

I know it all too well
These are the days of letting go
The weeks of hurt, the months of persevering
A year of learning I won't be left alone
There's an army backing me
My search for rhymes and reasons ended quickly
Answers I've been looking for but I will never have
I should rewrite my epitaph

I would like to wake up feeling
What I haven't felt in years
Learn from the past
Going steadfast
Maybe this will last

And so I'm reaching out
A bigger room for all who care
I'll leave the door unlocked and welcome all who come my way
Begin from what I know
I will stretch to understand
It should bring comfort and the gentle need to grow a little day by day
And fill that empty space
Find a different warm embrace

I would like to wake up feeling
What I haven't felt in years
Learn from the past
Going steadfast
Maybe this will last
Maybe this will last
Maybe this will last
