.083085 (Part One)

From the day I was born, from the first time I screamed so loud
All I ever wanted to do was make you proud
If I ever fall short of your hopes and dreams
Please know this isn't as easy as it seems

Running against the wind, fighting the shadows
Weight of the world on my shoulders, though it never shows
I hope and dream to one day reach the finish line
I just hope that I haven't wasted too much time

From the day I was born and brought into the family
I just wanted to pay back those who had accepted me
Everything I do is done to make you proud of me
And I pray to whoever listens that one day you'll see

The frustration built until one day I cut myself wide
I wanted to let the demons out until I cried
But never did it work, so my struggle continued on
So now I have my pill crutch to lean on....
