letting go of my words


I miss being free,

before i had to hide under layers of scars

clear skin with the truth just lying underneath

i want to say im ready to die.,

but i have reasons to still be around

My dad,

my mom,

my brothers,

the people i try to protect

the people who i would die for

More importantly

the people i would fight for.

How would they feel

defeated,

lost,

All those people would have to bury me

a corpse that they would have done anything to protect

a body that they could have saved.

I can hurt myself,

but ill never hurt my family.

I guess thats why im still around.

The people who kept me up,

kept me alive.

im glad to be alive.

for once i got off my high horse

and i finaly saw what i needed.

hope

family

good

finding

Life.
