A Long Way From Lost
I’m a long way from lost
But still a long way from fine
It doesn’t happen in a day
To say I’m better will take time
To lose who you are
Is a process in itself
But reversing the damage
Is harder then to just erase
I can scrub my skin clean
Making it red and raw
But when I look at my face
I know what my eyes saw
The scars have begun to fade
But somehow they’re deeper than my skin
I even have begun to miss them
For me the blade was my only kin
But still I try everyday
And even more so in the nights
I tell myself all the time
That this is a fight I can win
The more I say so
The more I begin to believe
Now when I look at my skin
I no longer pull at my sleeves
I’m a long way from lost
But still a long way from fine
It doesn’t happen in a day
But I’ll be better in time
