What You Must Go Through

I see others stuck where I was stuck Self destructive in a rut Trying to pull themselves back up feeling that they've had enough And I know that they're facing hell Turning corners overwhelmed A brutal truth to what derailed The Course of pain from how they failed Which they avoid procrastinating Drowning sorrows intoxicated moments of them seeing straightness To much hurt to be contemplated Seeking any other angle One that's not too hard to handle Scared to actually stand up tall unprepared to embrace the scandal And I think of what I went through Knowing things which I can't prove That told me just what I must do Movements judged unjust untrue Seeing friends for what they are cutting ties and speaking harsh Being told I'm fake and farce Whilst staying true with open scars Starting new from that existence staying firm and with persistence feeling a world of resistance digging deep and keeping distance All alone but never breaking Enduring each day isolated Trapped with all of my heart aching ensuring I reached separation Away from everyone I knew Fresh perspective starting new The mountain peak that I outgrew That others now refuse to view They must change their way of thinking Stop the drugs and stop the drinking Learn to take from what defeats them pursue the light though dim and blinking
