Uphill Battle
Looking back into the mirror
the mirror of the past
I see a young woman who never thought her pain would pass
The world was dark around her
With heartache and despair
Filled with too much hurt that she couldn't bear
So she started cutting
coping the only way she knew how
if only for the brief moment
of hope she had to find somewhere.
At the time she couldn't see
how this pain could end;
blind to the other side of darkness
with hope and happiness
without blood shed.
Looking back into the mirror
the mirror of the past
I see a young woman who never thought her pain would pass
Sometimes its hard to believe
that girl was me
I've come a long way
it always seemed impossible
but I'm finally reaching my dream.
Its been nine months now
since the last time that I cut
I only have three months to go
and it will be a year
Its been a long hard uphill battle
With many struggles and many tears
it sure hasn't been an easy journey
but a worthwhile one for sure.
