I could take a leap of faith
Into the dark abyss of my mind,
The spots I avoid because all they cause is pain.

I could take a leap of faith,
And hope that they won't this time

But to take a leap of faith,
I think you have to have faith in something
I don't think I have faith in something or anything really.

I don't have faith that it's going to get better
I don't have faith that maybe I matter something to someone
I don't have faith that I'm loved

I have horrors in my mind
And they are buried bone deep into my skin
And I don't think I'll ever get rid of them,
that they'll be there forever.

So I don't think I could take a leap of faith, you see.
Because, I don't have faith in anything anymore.

-R.Blackwell
