# 27

**27**\

|
*I used to think that day was just a far off dream for me*\
|
||
|
|
*Dreading when I wake because I can't see past next week*\
|
||
|
|
*"What's the point of living if I'm just living a lie?"*\
|
||
|
|
*Those echoes in my memory are far away tonight*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**27**\
|
||
|
|
*I used to think that I was all alone feeling this pain*\
|
||
|
|
*Using words and writing poems to keep up the pace*\
|
||
|
|
*Whisper reassurances to myself to feel safe*\
|
||
|
|
*Hugging pillows tightly as I'm drifting in this space*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**27**\
|
||
|
|
*Now the railing that I'm safely behind keeps me sane*\
|
||
|
|
*I'm not quite the black rose that I pricked, but just the same*\
|
||
|
|
*I still can't see past next week, but maybe that's okay*\
|
||
|
|
*Maybe in this case my age was not an early grave*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**27**\
|
||
|
|
*Now I use a new name and I wear a different face*\
|
||
|
|
*But I'm still the same girl even if I'm less afraid*\
|
||
|
|
*Back then I sat on sidelines to watch everyone else live*\
|
||
|
|
*And now, for once, it's my turn, I've got something new to give*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**27**\
|
||
|
|
*I don't need to tell myself that I'm not worth living*\
|
||
|
|
*I don't need to hold onto my reassurances*\
|
||
|
|
*I don't need to feel like if I left no one would care*\
|
||
|
|
*I've made it this far and now I'm letting myself live*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**27**\
|
||
|
|
*I'm doing my best and I know that's all I can do* \
|
||
|
|
*I know it's enough and I know you will see it, too*\
|
||
|
|
*This life is so precious and that's why, now, I can say* \
|
||
|
|
*I'm glad that I know that I'll be turning 28*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*There's no big ending, no big rhyme to close off this chapter* \
|
||
|
|
*I'm not ending anything with a bang or a whimper* \
|
||
|
|
*Just acknowledging what I've now firmly put behind me*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is how it ends \
|
||
|
|
This is how it starts \
|
||
|
|
I deserve it.
