I thought the darkness was over, Panic gone and scars healed. I was wrong. Covering up the pain with smiles, Hiding scars with therapy And sleeping with the lights on Doesn't make darkness vanish. How can an incident control my life Even when I thought I'd moved on? Every time I close my eyes, I see the familiar pain That dragged me through the times of loneliness. I can feel the needles back in the hardened scars of that non-healed wound. The familiarity of the life I once lived, It's still there, All of it. I expend long days and even longer nights Trying to work trough all. It's incredible how fast it all comes back. I'm back in the cage Unable to enjoy the life I wanted And thought I had. This time I'm not going anywhere.... |
