Contented with myself
Walking away from my past
Leaving the darkness
Scared of the future
Praying it’s not the same
Realizing I’m not alone
Thinking I should be
Knowing I don’t deserve this
Pondering how this came to be
Seeking for answers
Looking over my shoulder
Feeling watched
Being chased by the abyss
Staying just out of reach
Hoping that I don’t stumble
Climbing out was so hard last time
Pulling myself away
Killing my hopes and joy
Needing help
Wanting an outstretched hand
Reaching ahead but touching emptiness
Hitting the bottom
Finding the light behind the shadow
Walking away from my past
Leaving the darkness
