I cannot ever give into despair If I allow for the pain to overcome me And swallow up all that I've become That is no worse than accepting death I've won this battle once, twice, Countless times before, Coming out worse for wear each time And yet still fighting on the next day The price of complacency is one I cannot afford, and I will fight this war until it kills me

The Price of Complacency
I cannot ever give into despair If I allow for the pain to overcome me And swallow up all that I've become That is no worse than accepting death I've won this battle once, twice, Countless times before, Coming out worse for wear each time And yet still fighting on the next day The price of complacency is one I cannot afford, and I will fight this war until it kills me
heeyyyy so i've been severely depressed for a long while and i'm just now recovering from a nasty episode. writing helps me with keeping my emotions at bay, and i'm gonna really try to make a comeback on here.
