If only I could show you
The path I have walked
Take my hand
Trace my footsteps in the sand
To open your eyes
See the pain I once held inside
You are not alone
These experiences were once my own
Please don't step off that edge
Let me save you from that ledge
How can I show you how much you mean?
How I can see, all that you could be?
That life is worth living
That the bottle doesn't do much giving
If only I could show you
The path you don't have to walk..

Nothing and everything will be the same
As in
A that side of the bed
No longer satisfied on my own
Clothes
Discolored and fuzzy in the drawer
But that's ok
The final part clicked
A clock found its tick
Tiny hairs on the bathroom sink
The concoction of smells
You
Make me want to drink
In
The moment you walk into a room
and I realize
I'm both the luckiest and the stupidest
Girl
For letting myself love you this much

Nowhere near completed
Nowhere near knowledge
Just a touch better than defeated
Still, like the embers of a fire
The soul doesn’t die easy
A gasping breath above the mire
The air is bittersweet
A shudder of things past and cautious hope
A gentle touch of heat
The sun on my skin
The world another hue
More vibrant than I dared to remember
As if feeling all things for the first time
I feel I'm taking flight
Freedom is on the way

Childhood dreams and visions
Adult realities and decisions
Hope and confidence
Despair and despondence
What was it
That turned a girl with the lightness of butterfly wings
Into a woman with a heart too full of heavy things
Was is bad choices
A head with too many voices
A whisper to God
The silence that echoed on
An endless leash to the past
Forever looking back
Unable to forgive
The life that she chose to live
