I felt like giving up
I was hanging from a thread
I just wanted to quiet
The thoughts inside my head
I’ve been hanging on for so long
Everything I felt was so wrong
I closed my eyes and took a breath
Letting go of all that caused me stress
I had to release myself
To hold on to something else
In that moment, I found my strength
To face the darkness and go the length
I took a step forward, embracing the unknown
With every stride, my confidence had grown
Though the road was rocky and filled with strife
I knew deep inside, I was reclaiming my life
No longer defined by the shadows of the past
I emerged stronger, ready to make it last

In my perfect day
You’d still be here
We would be sipping coffee
By the pier
Watching the morning sunrise
Seeing the glimmer in your eyes

In my perfect day
We would read underneath palm trees
Taking in the ocean breeze
Snapping memories that will never leave

In my perfect day
Cancer wouldn’t exist
Taking you away
Would be completely dismissed

In my perfect day
We would watch the sunset by the water
You would never leave
I’d still have my father

In my perfect day
I would live inside a world
Where there would be no fear
And when the day is done
You would still be here
