Just sayn'

I write to heal and I bleed my pen

The words flow thru me and not out my skin

Razors and blades dont forget the knives too

I remember the times the only color I saw was blue

Life has gone in a circle and has very much calmed down

No longer the need to run, hide or skip town

Forgiving myself was the hardest to do

He gave me hope and helped me break through

Sleep comes so easy and the nights arent so long

I do things the right way and Im not doing the wrong

My past has been coverd, my past has been cleaned

Thank you Lord for helping my family who intervened

When the light in my soul was all but snuffed out

I had to make changes without a doubt

Thankful for seeing what went wrong

Having the sight to sing a new song

The path that leads me is straight and narrow

I am happy now and free as a sparrow

Decisions come smooth

Living right can soothe

If you make mistakes

In your dreams are miserable snakes.
