Intervention


Self destruction is the production Of withholding information Within thyself Planning never to face the very tension Within yourself And it shows With the lack luster smile And loss of joy Manipulated like a toy Moving from place to place Like a dragging shoe lace Failing to care or even be aware That your retention rate drops And we want this to stop But this isn't a detention This here is your intervention For the suppression That's been getting out of control Now pay attention For the succession at which I'll be presenting this lesson May be hard to grasp All in one session But it'll shift in your mind Allowing you time to begin processing And progressing to relief Through the cycle of grief So let the disdain in your membrane Rise to the surface Of your champagne life Releasing the troubles with every pop Relaxing not just you physically But mentally as well Allowing you to sell to yourself One of the greatest discoveries The truth of recovery But this process is long And there seems to be This wrong mentality That by going through the process You’re weak When in reality As times get bleak You'll see How strong you really are And see the scar That shows that your healing Is near not far
