It takes a strong mind to dust it off your shoulders.
To quiet the messed up thoughts in your mind.
To pay attention when other things call for your attention.
Not to get lost in a sea where you've drowned before.
To push open the door and step outside, even when it's hard for you to close the door.
Steps you take to set yourself free.
A place you can finally feel peace, to wash your hair and know it's not stuck there growing into your brain.
These dark things that melt your wax and that wash you down the shower drain.
It takes faith.
It takes everything, to Be strong not weakened.
But remember even a melted candle can become solid again, and burn time, and time again.
Hold on to the threads in your skin,
so you can be stitched back together when you are torn.
Life is still about fighting this war,
one that rages in all that think.
It's up to ourselves to set us free.
You've just got to believe and think on better things.
