All my cuts are healed,

My scars are slowly fading,

I'm finally leaving the battlefield,

And the dull world I was facing.

Every day is a brand new step,

Leaving my past behind,

Thinking it would be easy;nothing could prep,

Me for the difficulties I might find.

Everyday I live with this war,

Going on inside my head,

One half says "be pure you don't want to end up dead"

I want to listen to that side,

But the other half's always there,

Saying 'it'd be easier if you died,

no-one would even care'.

It affects my daily life,

It's messing with my head,

While you see a knife,

I see something to cut myself with instead.

You see broken glass,

I see a blade,

That's why it's not as easy as,

Keeping away from where all the knives stay.

Sometimes it all becomes too much,

And the dark side wins,

I let the blade touch,

The vulnerable part of my skin,

I was so close to stopping,

But I'll throw that all away,

I know I skould be dropping,

The thing that causes me pain.

Too late,it's too late,

I've already marked my vein,

I'll have to remeber this date,

So I can try and start again,

They say it's part of recovery,

But still I feel like I've failed,

What on earth is happening to me?

I should have known I would have bailed,

Relapse what have you done to me?

Why would you ruin my streak?

Relapse you are my enemy;

You show that I'm too weak.
