Another Dark Day

Another dark day
I can do it
So nothing you can say
Can stop me
You say I don't have the skill
But Ill show you, I will
Don't remind me of my past
Doesn't mean I'll do it again
So get out of my head
Let me get out of this bed
As I pull the blanket back over my head

Timothy this is so good... and the last line shows how difficult and confusing fighting with oneself is! Congratulations!
