Wiping away the tears, Seeing the scars from the blades. Wishing for a new beginning, Starting my life over again and getting a second chance. Because of you telling me things will get better.
Living not for myself, but for others, Trying to put myself back together. Longing for someone to understand why I'm so destroyed, Tipping over in the tiny breeze, going to be stronger in the end. Because of you pushing me.
Getting back up on my feet, Holding on tight. Giving everything I've got into surviving through the night, Hopes and prayers that are going to come true, someday. Because of you and your Faith in me.
Blades are for the weak, Riding in the surf of desperation for nine years. Braving the demons that held me back, Restoring my fire to keep on going now though. Because of you being there for me.
Coming out the other side, Inspired by you to turn my life around. Crawling, eventually going to stand tall, I am going to stick things out. Because of you.
This is for my English teacher. She reached out and saved me.
