They said I needed time
And I thought they might be right
But even then I was scared
Even back then, I asked
But what if I still won't know then?
I was fragile and desperate
On the verge of breaking, giving up
I looked at them for the answers
Needed them to give me some
But all they said was: you will
Like it was a fact, a certainty
But it was something I didn't believe
Not then, not now
I tried to figure it out, to give me time
I searched and tried and failed and cried
Liars they were then, liars they are now
They were wrong, horribly wrong
Their words soaked in comfort
But somehow I just got more lost
I still don't know, still don't know
And now? I want to shout
What do I do now?
Now that I still don't know?
My voice echoes, but no answer comes
What if I can't figure it out?
Silence as I shout
No one knows
That's a scary thought
But I know there's more than this
More than feeling lost
I'm sure there's a silver lining
There must be something
A poem in here somewhere
