A year ago today
I thought I could **** myself in any way
But I took a razor to my arm
Thinking that would cause less harm
I dug the blade in so deep
for every time that I was cheap
For everything I didn't say
whether it be no or yes
the times that I was drunkenly laid
For all the people who called me quiet
or my stomach growling
you'll never go through with this diet
Just **** yourself you stupid *****
because that is all you'll ever be good for
but
I've come a long way since then
I now know I don't need to be super thin
Or do anything to please thoseΒ Β men
I learned to love my squinty brown eyes
And the fact that there's no gap between my thighs
I've learned that I can go and when to say no
That nothing is tying me down I no longer want to drown
In a pool of my own pity
It's weird to say and hard to do
but you can too
Dig and fight your way out of rock bottom
It'll be ***** and rough
and you'll fall back in
But dig your claws in and fight even hard
Because life is worth it
and I didn't know it then
but I'm glad I figured out
before I created my own end
Hell's right around the corner, but I can turn it around.
You always have a choice, no matter the situation, you're not bound,
To nothing, no one. You're chosen for this job,
This is your life, you can't escape this ***** when it's hard.
Just know that it passes, but you'll collect scars-
They never go away, but they will make you who you are.

This is also just a little note.....but....really....Macklemore truly helped me out of depression....and drinking as much as I did...every one of his songs has a real meaning to it..and...just really pulled me through rough crap.
