Tooth and nail.

The pain is constant. 

There is no distraction

The only choice is numb but it never lasts.

It always seems to suck you down further.

The more you struggle the deeper it gets.

The more you say fuck it, its not worth the shit;

The further you fall the harder you hit the ground when you slip off the knife edge.

Been cut and bled, emotionally unfed. Unneeded, unwanted,  overlooked, misunderstood,  underestimated and devalued.  I didnt have the energy to fight it. I didnt have the time to question it. 

Not anymore.  I will sumon all I have, every last piece of resistance. I shall overcome my dire need to be accepted by those whose love should ordinarily be expected. You dont have to like me. I am different. This is my strength.  I respect that. I see more, I know more. The dark is no match for my light. I will set me free of me and my shadows and become more me than ever before. No more flatlines. I'm going to ride the peaks and valleys of the pulse of life.  Look out, I'm not stopping with me.  I'm coming for you. Im going to bring you back from the dark.

Stay Strong

The smoothness gets nicked
Every now and then
But she always
Comes back stronger
To the smoothness
Once again.
