I always tried to find happiness
But I went about it all wrong
I used to cry to myself every night
Wondering why it took so long

“But you always seem so happy though.”
Is what most people would say to me
Most days I used to just wonder why
Why people won't just leave me be

I thought hard about ending it all
Might be better if I wasn’t here
But once I realized that wasn’t true
I saw that my mind wasn’t near

Took years to see that I was worth it
Went through hell just to find myself
Came back up stronger than I started
Got a grasp on my mental heath

People ask me “How did I do it?”
All you do is let go, be free
No matter the time that it can take
But at the end, you will be happy
