I finally feel human.
It's been weeks since I've felt myself,
Ages since I could stand on my own
Without you as my crutch.

I quickly learned when you arrived
That standing was made easier
When you were around.
But as suddenly as you came
You left me all on my own.

And when I tried to stand
I fell right back over.
Wondering where my legs had gone.
You'd stolen an essential part of me.

It's been ages since I've stood,
But now I'm on my feet again.
I don't need you to hold me up,
I don't need anyone but me.

Once again I'm full human,
Not one single piece missing.
Maybe still a little broken,
But that's just aging, and life.

don't you miss it,
that freedom you felt
every time you were outside?
don't you miss it,
that feeling of calmness
you felt every time you
snuggled up in bed?
but most importantly,
don't you miss it,
not being broken,
being able to survive
a day without cutting
your skin?
but the bittersweet part is,
that even though you miss it,
you still keep it up,
and it has become a habit
to cut a piece of your skin,
every day.

the ground is moving,
the earth is shaking,
and you and i are just
searching for an escape
so we can survive the
love we are making.
