Survivor Mantra
Survivor Mantra
April 14, 2019
By LoLa
I harmed myself today
I offered my soul to another way
Its just Another way to live
A reason left for me to Give a...nevermind
Its not what you may think
I didnt find a lonely drink
I didnt sink through depths of hell
Times when i buy but never sell
I take and take
I wake and bake
It hurts too much to feel it clean
Still, what i’ve seen cant be unseen
When a sober thought rises up
As fallen ashes fill my empty cup
All thats left of yesterdays ways
Fade in clouds and shades of grey
All that’s left are scars of battles waged
And the cage i made in a hopeless age
I feel so lost without the end in sight
I survived the nights of fallen lights
The harm leaves no scars anymore
I feel the same way today as i did before
Where footsteps echo inside my fragile mind
I shout my survivor mantra, and take what is mine
