I don't know how to apologize for shutting you out
There aren't enough words in my vocabulary for me to tell
You all about how I've felt since he stepped foot out the house
I can never go back to satisfactory mental health
Blade in my flesh, twisted the hilt
Building up walls I tried to unbuild
It's a story I've yet to fully retell
Burying the narrative of how I built myself
I don't know how to paint you a picture
Draw a map of where it all went wrong
I don't care to illustrate the way the pain burned itself into my veins
I can only finish one thing at a time, these deadlines aren't for you to decide, they're all mine
Blade in my flesh, twisted the hilt
Building up walls I tried to unbuild
It's a story I've yet to fully retell
Burying the narrative of how I wrecked myself
Tucked it safe in its sheath
Didn't think of it until I saw it start to bleed
Crimson stains in my chest
Crimson stains in my head
Blade in my flesh, twisted the hilt
Building up walls I tried to unbuild
It's a story I've yet to fully retell
Burying the narrative of how I wrecked myself
about
Five years ago, I started to finally learn about my mental health issues. I also started my journey to coping in a healthy way. Every day is a new struggle, but it helps to write about it. Here's hoping I can finally have some catharsis in my life.
