May 2019
The rain pouring down on me now
Feels like a new life
Seen through new eyes
And I just realized
I don't want to **** it up

I had forgotten what it was like
To be angry at complacency
I'd given up completely
Nothing mattered
Least of all the future
And as my death hovered,
Close enough to touch,
I was saying goodbye
A little more each day

But something changed
And today my mind is clear
I think I can believe
That I'll go on
And, although I'm afraid,
Of the darkness I've known so intimately,
I must continue
See this through

So I'll start all over
All over again
I'll move forward,
Grow stronger than I was
Though I don't understand,
Can't say I ever did,
I'm gonna believe
Take this chance
Stop looking back
And fight to be
For once in my life
Free.
