Time



Time to take back what is mine,    Time to break these evil vines. The vines that have me so depressed,
Depressed because my hurt wont rest.
They've kept me hidden, so lost inside,
So lost they took away my pride.
They took my body, my heart, my soul,
They took it to a point of no control.
It left me breathless to dwell and cry,
Upon my thoughts and wonder why.
Why my life is so full of pain,
Why it drove my mind insane
But nows the time to laugh and love,
Time to hold my head above.
Rise above all the hateful ways,
Ways of so called life these days.
