The Three Letter Word
A simple three letter word has followed me around
But the impact it has on my life is profound
A weight
A burden
Upon my shoulders for what seems an eternity
I am never free
The water runs, the soap is gone
And I feel numb
Two hours have passed
My time now wasted
All because the three letter word follows me around
I try to shake it off
But it stands tall
I lose hope
On the days that I'm alone
And it seems like I'll never get through
Because the three letter word seems to follow me around
I try to do things step by step
But they don't always go my way
And my heart begins to pound
So loud
A drum in my chest
That won't stop
Wherever I go
I am bound
To the three letter word that follows me around
I don't want to live this way
So everyday
I try and try
To make the three letter word less a part of me
Day by day
There's less weight on my shoulders
And I have more hope
More faith
That the three letter word will soon be a distant voice in the past
I know
I just know
