New Me

Maybe I'll just re-invent myself

Replace everything I am

With everything I've kept myself from being

Maybe instead of repeating history

I'll erase the past

and fabricate myself a happier story

Then I'll be able to sleep at night

And dream instead of more nightmares

And I'll fill myself with all these lies

Because I would rather do that

Than continue the way I am.

Empty. Numb. Sad. Useless.
