back

you know when something takes you back?

why have you taken me back,

to this time I would rather not re-visit



why have you opened once more,

this scar I kept so buried



shiny red and raw from never seeing the light



why has my mind slipped back

to pain and despair



how can I get back,

can i get back



do i have the strength

to pull myself up once more



will you unwittingly push me back down again



will i ever be free

from these shadows that linger



will i ever find someone to keep me safe
