There I Go Again

There I sat

Alone at last

Thinking about

My life's past

I used to cut

I used to think

As I stood

Over the bathroom sink

I hit Rock Bottom

Then got lifted

I thought that I was

Born gifted

Then I let

Myself slip

As I made a cut

On my left hip

I let myself go

Thinking things would be fine

Then things were ruined

By that one straight, red, line.
