A While

I wish everyone would stop
Asking me if I'm alright
No, I'm not tonight
I might not be for a while

They say I need to put myself out there
Try and find someone new
But it won't heal the wounds
And it won't erase the scars

I just want to be left alone
To be allowed to cry and scream
Why cant I just have a moment?
Just give me time to grieve

They're all worried about me
It's taking me too long to rebound
I'm not one for putting on a show
And pretending I'm not hurting inside

So no I'm not alright
And no it won't get better over night
But I promise I'll smile again
It just might not be for a while
