Fear follows me Nipping at my heels whispering all the reasons to run away and hide

With your trauma you devoured my love With your narrative you silenced my voice With your self-hate you killed my self-love

When we started it felt hopeless but we kept moving forward and tried our best

On the ground I lie my wings, broken and bloody My flame is going out as I let the darkness take me

I’m falling apart moments from tears but I will still find the strength for a smile

Sinking, struggling Trying to stay afloat I want so badly to close my eyes let it all go dark and give up

Even on the days when everything goes wrong Keep going forward We’ll all help you be strong

A weight has fallen on my mind Strapped in, stopping me thinking I want to write joyous, uplifting words But sometimes, I simply can't

I'm so tired of always swimming upstream I want to let the current sweep me away

The waves get higher crashing all around me I lost sight of the port amidst the raging sea
