Maybe you don’t understand

And maybe that’s ok

As long as you understand

I made it through the day

I wrestled with my own emotions

And at the end of the day

I finally won

But that doesn’t mean

The war is over

It’s only just begun

As I will wake up tomorrow

The empty shell I was today

Ready to fight

The world again

Just to be ok

And maybe you don’t understand

Maybe your not meant to

But please don’t stop me

Because if I don’t wage this war

With everything I am

I know what I would do to myself

In the end

I would take a knife

And let the rivers run red

As beautiful images

Of death danced in my head
