Way Back I Wanna Love Myself
By Sishitha Pilli
Way back I can’t answer these scars,
Speaking out loud and messing my mind.
Scratches of dried-up blood and lines.
Had to cover up with all the clothes I had.
All the love I deserve, can’t I ask for some more…
Way back I lost myself oh oh…
I cried, I begged for the care I need,
Hiding another face of mine indeed.
Therapy couldn’t give the peace I seek.
Oh boy! I can’t repeat and cheat.
All the warmth I have shared made me freeze in the nights.
Way back I lost myself oh oh…
Now I see the light, at the edge of the other side,
Holding myself too tight, let me fly like a bird tonight.
I am strong enough to break this cage and run to the brighter side.
Breaking these barricades, I am letting go of all this rage inside.
Way back I wanna love myself,
Way back I was that lovely self.
I just wanna love myself,
God, Imma try to love myself
