I'm not strong
I'm just keeping a promise
Sealed like a Scarlett letter
Under years of tragic
With light shinning through once in a blue moon
Without you
Just know
I know where I'd be
The outcome Isn't pretty
I can't even form the words
But I hope you know
You don't have a cape
But your the heros in my life

I hope one day I can understand
How you see me as strong
When I can barely hold myself together
Numb is a sense I've become familiar too
You keep my heart beating even when I don't feel it
My thoughts are fuzzy
My words are slurred
My brain is drunken off tears of tragic
But my memory is playing those moments of oh so perfect

I don't have a clue how I'm still functioning
In need of a reset
With the exception of a few
things
Life has kicked me so many times I'm still feeling the aftermath
My world is spinning
You pull me back to reality
How is beyond me
I'm a hurricane with a chaotic history

I know you'd never lie
So I'm trying my hardest
To find myself how you see me
It's exhausting at the least
Yet I'm dying to change
How I'm living
How I see
How I feel
Verbal is something no one should ever have to endear
I wouldn't wish my tragic on anyone

I've lost all the ones that were never supposed to leave me by choice
I lost the one I swore to protect forever over a bottle of whiskey and unneeded anger
I can't even look at a bottle the same anymore

I'm attempting to change my own mind
With the help of four angels who I can't imagine my life without
I'm looking ahead
Pressuring the tragic like coal an turning it into a diamond
I'm not giving up
I'm just done with living this life
To me there's a difference
Let me explain for a second

I'm taking matters into my own hands
Not letting my past corrupt my future
Rust away everything I've worked for
Everything I've planned
I may not be able to see it myself
But I can feel it deep
That I can make it with a paradigm shift in my life

Just know
Even if right now I can't seem to see the light in my own eyes
That doesn't mean I can't see it in yours
So
I'm thanking the big guy upstairs
for putting you in my life to show me it still shines And my heart still beats for life
