Damage Repair
Through the past two years I have made one decision that has changed my life
One decision to walk away and end the strife
Though times were bitter, they were also sweet
I chose not to accept defeat
Many people walked away
Those of many who claimed to stay
In a time of crippling anxiety
I had to work on my propriety
I had to realize I endangered my mental health
By condemning every inch of myself
Trying to do what others thought best
I had laid my soul to rest
Being a shell in an existing world
I watched as insanity swirled
In a time where I had become toxic
I knew I had to leave the feeling of being boxed in
Becoming distant from the world I knew
And keeping in contact with very few
I started to repair my soul
Against the damage that took its toll
For those of you that stuck around
I’m forever grateful for your sound
