Turn back time

I wish I could turn back time

Not to erase all my mistakes
But maybe to save the little girl who stayed in her bed
Thinking of all the ways to kill the monsters inside her head

I wish I could turn back time
To erase the scars I've inflicted on myself
I wish I could turn back time
To teach myself how to be stronger for what is to come

I wish I could turn back time
So I could give myself the reassuring hug that no one ever bothered to give
I wish I could turn back time

But sadly I cannot
