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.
