Before it's too late let me tell you now

There are times when I wanted to give up

To take the blade deeper beneath my scars and set myself free

The skin breaks apart as the lines of red begin to appear drop by drop

I feel the warmth and the strength as the cold steel is pulled away from me

It's time to move forward and into the warmth that you give me

The cold of my past is fading into the swirling mists of time

You are the one to keep me safe,

I am the one who can start to believe in a difference in a rebirth of my very soul

My eyes sparkle back to life as I stand taller

The strength returning to my broken and beaten existence

Bones crack within at every step as I learn to walk again

My ribs heal once more and protect me from breaking away and fading to nothing

The bruises around my eyes are merely there to remind me I am a fighter not a failure

I am back to being who I was once before but I am stronger through your torture

It is you who created this person, this new version of the fallen me

As my fist comes back and I break the mirror and watch the shards come falling down

I wipe away the red on the white

For it is my deep belief in living once more that keeps me going

I am the one who has taught myself to live to love and to never forget but to break free
