This
Day
Looking back there is so much pain,
She sees the darkness coming
And a frightened little girl that sits in a corner,
Unable to free her heart from the chains.
Now that little girl uses blood to heal
All those wounds suffered so long ago,
Her skin has become the battleground
For emotions she doesn’t know how to feel.
Though swearing to end all of this pain,
When life gets to be too much
She wants to know she’s still alive,
And uses the blade to remain sane.
She looks down at all those scars,
Remembering each time she lost control.
She frowns, as a tear softly falls-
Oh she has come so far.
She turns to feel the light,
As the sun casts a heavenly glow
Upon this beautiful woman,
Whose finally winning this fight.
She says no when the choice is before her-
She uses words instead of the blade,
She uses tears instead of those so crimson-
Her fighting spirit no one could deter.
At the end of the road this day,
She turns to see her future-
She sees those dreams shining brightly
And smiles knowing she has found her way.
