This was it.
The place I wanted to get to.
I had just enough,
And I still felt humane.
I fell in love.
And he loved me back.
It was quick and sweet,
But still so heartbreaking.
I made some new friends,
We don't talk today.
They showed me a path,
And that path I became.
I found my first drink,
My first indulgence.
My first life changing moment.
I started to burn.
A knife in my hand.
I wanted to hurt.
To hurt was to feel.
My life was a wreck.
And I cried every night.
I don't know where I was going,
But I know where I'd been.
When the going gets tough,
You push the blade deeper in.
