To not repeat the past

To hold on to my sanity

To try to make this last

To not lose myself in vanity

Every day I'm slowly slipping

Shutting myself off slowly

Unaware of my grip I'm losing

As i hold my heart closely

My past tries to pull me further

As I try to fight it

It brings me closer

As my memories sink in

I can't let go of the ledge

No matter what it says

I gotta seek revenge

For what it did to me on that day

It took that one moment

Of complete realisation

I can stop this torment

Through unstopping action

It won't let go easily

Which is why I have to stay fighting

To live happily

I have to keep growing

All I have is this day

Not tomorrow

I gotta keep praying

To not be in sorrow

Remember what you said

The pet is the brain

You gotta move before the end

Stay sane

It's about the long haul

To try to stay in control
