what was

she's tired of the way she's been living

so she decides to start on a new path with forgiving

she doesn't know how to and doesn't understand why

but if she doesn't change things her soul will soon die

unsure of how to start of where to begin

she decides the first thing she'll do is confess her sin

she doesn't know what to say or how to put the words

so she lays on her back and just looks at the birds

and when she closes her eyes

she can suddenly fly

far far away into another place that's all her own

she doesn't have to pretend everything's okay like she's always been shown

all of her emotions are sincere

the most frequently appearing being fear

and she sits all alone with her knees in her chest and her head in her hands

pretending not to be the best at crying herself to sleep

constantly trying to choke back the tears

but she can't

so she drowns in her sorrow and tips back the bottle

with the razor at her skin

her mind gets twisted in the darkness where she's been

she forces her eyes open

and breathes in life

because now she's hoping to see a significant change

she's walked into the range

of life

a good life

the life she was meant to live

"and when she closes her eyes
she can suddenly fly"

Those two lines speak volumes! Very nicely written, very eloquent and, yet, bittersweet somehow, and a more than a trace sad...evokes a lot of thought-provoking emotions and feelings. Thanks for sharing this with the world...Great job!

This is a very poignant and heartfelt write.
I think all of us have been here at one time
or another. Keep on writing and I'll keep
on reading.
