they say time heals,
i'm still waiting
my sorrow kills my impatience
unwanted thoughts; intrusive invasions
like rain, tears spill - the waters wading
my time is wasting
i'm still not praying
for the day i say the sorrow's fading
tomorrow's waiting with open arms
i'm learning to let go, evading harm

i may get knocked down
 i'll soar, cus I'm a shooting star
if we didn't face challenges
everything else would feel hard
i'm healing; though it's hard to tell
you can't see the bruising of my mental scars

i fear that time isn't healing; 

I'm simply inure to what I once couldn't stand
