I never thought there would come a day
Where I could honestly say that I was happy
And it wouldn't be a lie meant to conceal,
But since I met you I've found everyday in your presence completely blissful.
Because with you:
The oxygen flows easily through my body,
My blood no longer feels like lead in my veins,
Every breath I take doesn't feel like a sharp pain
And when I wake up I don't wish that I hadn't opened my eyes.


That probably isn't what you wanted to hear-
A tragic scene of a confused, weak girl
Who felt the need to take a blade to her skin,
Just so she knew she was still there.
It's probably not what you want to hear-
A story of a depressed girl sitting in the dark corner of her room
Because she felt she wasn't wanted anywhere by anyone,
Even by herself.
It's probably not what you want to see;
The little scars on the inside of my wrists
So when I wear short sleeves
I'll cover up the embarrassment of the once broken skin
To hide the hopelessness i felt.
It's probably not what you want to see or hear,
But it's a part of my past-
And the past is irreversible.
So if you want to love me,
You'll have to love the sad girl I've become.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
