This Is For You

Don’t give up just yet.

This is for

The days that I didn’t want to get out of bed

For the days that I didn’t want to show my face

The days where I didn’t answer my phone

The days where I cried in the shower

Or just cried in any place I was alone

The days where I didn’t even want to hear my own voice

The days where I thought I wasn’t enough

The days that I ate just enough to say I did

The days of wondering why

The days that my soul felt empty

The days where I would drive just to feel free

The days where I would smoke so much Mary Jane just so I couldn’t feel

This is for the days where that didn’t work anymore

This is for my sleepless nights

This is for every time I felt like an afterthought

This is for the days I felt like a complete failure

This is for the days I felt like nothing

For the days that I felt weak

For the days I felt unbearable pain

For the days I looked for you

But couldn’t find you

This is for

The days I said I was busy

But would be in bed until 5

This is for my mind that can’t be silenced

This is for the days

The days I felt like I couldn’t do it anymore

But I did

Because for some reason

It felt right

And I knew one day it would all make sense
