Steps

I ran until the soles of my shoes began to bruise. Race against time; I was about to lose. Addiction grabbed my mind, I lost ability to choose. I forgot my name, or why I came, and when I couldn't find a vain oh, I would go insane. Could not maintain. Hold on, rocky terrain. Rough times ahead but man I've seen some better days, and better ways to get through what's ahead in this god forsaken place. You don't always see it with your eyes, you only see my disguise or when I say the truth you simply ask, why? But I found people who saw through me, people who saw the true me, people who spoke the truth and would speak it to me. That broke loose chains of what was a deranged brain, insane, caged, afraid. Brought to light, shimmered through and brought with the change and I'm not the same, but I can be if you give me chemicals and a day. So I set out to be straight, please catch me if I break.
