Jan 2017
My body has been scarred
Beaten and left broken
Its been torn apart
By my single hand
And the heaviness of the feeling that was left behind
Weighs me down at times of blue

But there's a flicker of fire in my soul
Something that hasn't been extinguished by my ****** hand
And it speaks to me softly of how I should be
That this life I have put myself through isn't the life I deserve

And this flick of hope gives me courage
That fills me with fury
To do the things I've been told I couldn't do or couldn't be

There's also the darkness in my head
And it tells me not to hope
Or not to believe
Not while I'm still living

This spark of darkness tells me that I deserve all those scars
And all the beat and tear
It shows me that the only relief to find is
The relief of life

The problem is
That I can't decide
Which one is right
