Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
…
Feels like I'm waking from the dead
And everyone's been waitin' on me
'Least now I'll never have to wonder
…
I thought that we could brave it all
I never thought that what would take me out
Was hiding down below

Lost the battle, win the war
I'm bringing my sinking ship back to the shore
Starting over or head back in
There's a time and a place to die, but this ain't it
…
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
….
Wish I could find a crystal ball
For the days I feel completely worthless
You know I'd use it all for good
I would not take it for granted
Instead I have some memories...
…
At the least, they will remind me not to make the same mistakes again

Lost the battle, win the war
I'm bringing my sinking ship back to the shore
We're starting over or head back in
There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it
…
There's a time and a place to die
There's a time and a place to die
..,
And this ain't it, this ain't it
This ain't it
…

Take the power back, baby
…
No sense chasing what you could've been
Let these battles make a champion

Say hello like it's the first time that you met
You're so beautiful, I won't leave you again

I'm finally seeing who I am
I feel the power coming back
I hold my heart in my own hands
I feel the power coming back…

No matter your features
We're all the same tender loving creatures
Taking steps upon the earth
Don't need anyone to tell you what you're worth

Say hello like it's the first time that you met
You're so beautiful…

…I'm finally seeing who I am…
…I feel the power coming back…
…I hold my heart in my own hands…
…I feel the power coming back

I have always gone against what other people want if it conflicts with what I really think matters/is right. But I’ve never been good at dealing with the feelings of upsetting or letting other people down, especially the people I care about.

But now, I want to face those feelings more directly, and definitely to stop avoiding them. I want to get better at feeling them and then just letting them go. I want to make sure that those feelings rarely keep me from figuring out what I think I should do or say. And rarely keep me from following through on what I think I should do.
