THIS

wind on my face
the heat of the night isnt so bad right now
the toxins are releasing their grip on my body
and seeping out of my pores
the air is electric
my head is resting on its heart
listening to its pulse
i dont ever want to go home
home is where the hurt is
i can see the veins in my arms cracking
platelets of blood rush like powder into the air
i fall to my knees
whats left to lose
there is no going back
i spent my whole life only going half way
always scared of never being able to go back
now im out in the great wide open
and i have no choice
fear is not an option
its kill or be killed
im learning in leaps and bounds
im running on empty
and finding out that the tank wasnt as shallow as i was lead to believe
maybe the fluid didnt even need to be there at all
im gonna do what i want to do from now on
if i have to be quiet about that then i will
but this is for me
i dont do enough for myself
even though people would have me believe that i do
its always for everyone
this is my life
i need to take care of myself
from now on
im walking taller

this is for me
