The burning and the crying and the pain
It took it out of her, pride went right down the drain
And it came to the point where it was just to much
Some where down the line, with herself she'd lost touch
She looked in the mirror and stared back at a stranger
In too deep, didn't realize the danger
But it wasn't too late to turn it around
She took the leap and landed, feet on the ground
She awoke with a smile in the middle of the night
Surpassed the darkness, she'd reached the light
And she stared at the stars with hope in her eyes
She hated being someone that she didn't recognize
She found herself again in the darkest of days
Letting go of the sickness, the foggy haze
Her own fears had kept her from reaching for her dreams
She gained back her courage and her self esteem
Stopped fearing rejection, it kept her down
Learned to love herself, not simply hide her frown
Celebrate the difference, stopped burying the shame
Found comfort in her writing and took pride in her name
