If

Only I knew this would be my present surely I would have turned away.

I would have run for the door and never looked back.

Thinking about this moment as it slowly begins to become more than it was meant to be.

I guess it took being used, pushed to the edge of breaking for me to realize this isn’t for me.

Trapped in a nightmare that has become my reality isn’t something I wish on my worst enemy.

The wall I have to put up just to be able to catch  my breath and to see the light at end of this tunnel called my life.
