When you look at your past
And you see what you've become
A single you, with many names
Brother, lover, friend and son.

You look up to what made you
And you pray to be heard
You try and shake this dark feeling
Waiting for His answer or word

Whats next in your life
The decision is yours
Should you try to stay afloat
And swim to the shore

Your struggle is real
The currents too strong
You think about giving up
Would that be so wrong?

You close your eyes one last time
Expecting to let go
Faces of family not the dark
Fills your heart let it grow

The darkness is out there
The dread is so real
But the love of one person
Can make the dread go quite still.

The pain you'll create
Like a single line from a poem
Can be changed once it's out there
The meaning is of your own

Letters become words
Words become a line
Certain words put together
Can cause pain for a long time

Choose what you say
You words are so strong
For all the words I've said
"I'm sorry!" the most strong!
