Tyeisha

The old me creeps over my shoulder 

Cradles me into existence 

It's hard to remain in the light 

The bullet wound wasn't healing 

Being shot at by someone you loved 

But feared 

Wasn't an easy cope 

The old ways remained silent 

Kept me from hurdling 

This was the dark territory 

The blood grew thick within time 

No cover is the best cover 

Rise , rise beautiful , rise 

You've defeated it before 

With confidence 

You can do it again
