I didn't know what I was missing
Until I threw myself down the abyss
In a sinkhole of despair
I was gasping for air.

Fell into the arms of sorrow
But didn't have time to wallow
Pushing me onto a road of thorns
I had nowhere to move on.

Bloodied my soul with pain
And yet...there was some gain
I learned to fight with fire
Numbing myself against any ire.

Steeped in tears as I feared
I succeeded in stirring away my gears
Removing myself from the toxicity
I finally found happiness in me.
