I am getting close Still, I slip and slide and fall Still, I freeze and stall For a while I tried, I tried to be who I was Before all the lies For a while I tried To destroy my hated parts To cut, rip, and tear I begin to learn To accept these parts of me They are not the whole I've begun to learn And I will fight and claw and crawl I am getting close.

Recovery, Growth
I am getting close Still, I slip and slide and fall Still, I freeze and stall For a while I tried, I tried to be who I was Before all the lies For a while I tried To destroy my hated parts To cut, rip, and tear I begin to learn To accept these parts of me They are not the whole I've begun to learn And I will fight and claw and crawl I am getting close.
