I wish I didn’t have these scars
But I want to create more
I feel a sense of pride in seeing them
More so than when I’ve stopped
I’m glad I stopped, I think
But the twisted sense of pride
To see I did that
Unflinchingly
Makes me feel strong
Take it like a man
So I did
I was a snowflake when I cried
So I grew
And laughed in their faces of fear
And now I’m sick
And happiness is too far gone
I despair in my pain, but it feels too good
I want to stop
But I feel so empty without
I want to be saved
I know it can’t be
I want to be loved
Yet I push friends away
I want to take steps
To pursue recovery
But I’m stuck in a maze
I’m lost
