I Will Be Healed

We overcome obstacles everyday

They make us view things differently from yesterday

Overcoming an obstacle, takes us a step closer to being wiser

But when you go through an obstacle that makes you full of guilt

Something that could've been fixed with your help

You don't know how to continue living life feeling like you're at fault

Going through nights fighting with your thoughts

Maybe if you would've said something, just one things, things would've been different

Someone who had always acknowledged you

Asking you how your days do

So annoyed of people and their personal social media posts

Ignoring EVERYTHING that they wrote

Leaving their last words and I still didn't think much of it

Not thinking about them needing to vent

Always trying to keep my distance

Finding out the news that someone

Someone who had always acknowledge me

Always asking me how my days be

Had taken their own life

It makes me full of guilt

It could've been fixed

It could've

With my help

Going through nights fighting with my thoughts

All of those social media statuses of their bad experiences

How could I have thought they were for attention and false

Why was I so afraid of these cliches about disrespecting their significant other by asking a FRIEND what they've undergone?!

Maybe if I had said something, just one thing, things would've been different

We overcome obstacles everyday

They make you view things differently from yesterday

Overcoming an obstacle takes us a step closer to being wiser

And to this day, the guilt still lingers in me

Still living life feeling I'm at fault

But my healing nature is within my thoughts

So if I set my mind to my mistakes

and leave them as mistakes and not bad habits

I will be healed.
