The time of “safety” has expired Self-destruction is required A bitter taste inside me grows As it’s time for me to show: What you “know” is a fake And that choice was mine to make. I fooled, deceived Made you believe. You showed me all that you weren’t Even exposed your guilt, your hurt Yes, you were the closest “friend” But it’s now coming to an end. Only parts I chose to show The whole of me you didn’t know. I’m not expecting your acceptance Just one second for repentance. Because I’m tired of pretending Wasting time for healing, mending. I’m willing to be hurt once more, To notice parts of me that’s sore If it will give me life, atonement Just to smile, if but for a moment. The pain is sharper with every breath, Every step further away from Death Yet it tastes sweeter as I strip Everything held in my strong grip My fortress, my walls that held you back I’m ripping down, even my tact. I have no plans for the day But this last thing I want to say: “If I try to hide again, Please pull me back and then begin To tell me of happiness held in store Between me and those who I adore.”
""...Not every fight is worth fighting." Hold me to it."
