My pain's asleep, not dead
My heart hasn't stopped beating yet.
The hurt is still there,
only a little less
My brain is a jumble,
but no more a mess.
The tears still come, but slowly
I still zone out, but not mostly
The smiles are getting brighter
The burden a little lighter
It still is hard at times,
but I've known myself to be a fighter
The emptiness is there,
but not yet so numb
This is really what my life has become
The blank space is decreasing in my head
But despite all these things, I'm sometimes reminded,
The pains asleep, not dead.
