there is water in my lungs, darling
I'm choking, suffocating
my face is beginning to match the sky and
I'm not sure I can feel my fingers
but I think I feel more at my farthest extremities
than I've ever really felt for us

for the last two hundred and seventy-six days
I've wondered how I would breathe
if you ever left my side

but never for a minute did I consider
that I might be the one to leave you

"It's water under the bridge"
   But it hadn't gone far
       Salt in the wound
           Picking
    At a scar

Can we forgive
What we can not forget
   How do we live
With so much regret

When playing with fire
   Your bridges get burned
A lesson
  We too little
Too late
  Learned

It's sink
   Or swim
& the current
   is wide
Do we dare to dream
Of the other side?

Yes I'm the girl who has scars on her wrists, arms and legs
But my heart has the most from the people leaving
I have emotional, mental and physical scars
I used to hide them with long sleeve shirts and skinny jeans
But people would ask why would you wear that its 90 degrees
I stopped hiding
My scars showed
But...
People stared and looked and cried...
They never knew the reason why I hid them this whole time
But now they now and now they left
I'm all alone just me and my scars

I found it!!
My wish finally came true
Happiness came to be
While the darkness was around me
The dark is getting smaller the light is getting brighter!!
God is giving me hope
I can do this
Stay positive I say
For now I can look forward and not be so down on myself
Keep your head up!!
Walk forward more into the light
I got faith now
I'm going to make my life right

You say the sky is the limit
But it surely isn’t mine
You say I’m arrogant
But I say I’m confident
You say ‘Reach for the stars’
But I’m already out of the Milky Way
You say ‘Write it in the sand’
But I say edge it on the rock
You say I’m a liar
But I say our truths aren’t the same
You say I’m needy
But I say you’re greedy
You say I’m lost
But I say we aren’t on the same path
You say I’m off-beat
But I say we dance to different beats
You say I came last
But I say I ran a different race
You say ‘Don’t compare to the others’
But I say it’s my motivation
Do you know
I like you here
Do you know
You challenge me
Do you know
You counter me
But overall
You comfort me
Because without you
I’d have no victory
And with no victory
What would entertain me?
