Fall Back Together

Exhaustion overpowers me and it feels good to close my eyes.
I drift off to sleep and begin to dream of a better place.
I'm walking through a completely different world.
There's even a smile on my face.
This place is so far from reality.
Everywhere you look, someone is smiling or laughing.
In my world, though, I was the only person I could see.
I was always depressed and not one happy moment would escape into my body.
Each day would always be the same for me.
I would wake up and go to school.
Then, I would come home and sit in my room all alone.
Eventually, I would fall asleep and then have to wake up and repeat my routine all over again.
I can't live like this anymore.
And, maybe my dream of a better place is trying to tell me something.
I'm always enclosed in my own thoughts.
Always in my own little world.
I need to open up.
And, I really need to make some changes.

I wish I could keep sleeping.
This fantasy world is so much better than the real world.

I awake with a start.
I know what I have to do now.
It's time to stop doing what I'm doing.
Things have to change.
And I, too, need to change.
I don't want to be this girl anymore.
And I don't have to be.
I know I can't go back to be the exact same person that I was.
But, I can at least go back to be at least half of that person.
Partial is better than nothing.

I need my life back.
I have to resolve my problems.
I'm tired of hurting everyone around me.
So, it's time to change.
And have the pieces of my world fall back together.
