I used to write so here we go

[tobstah]

when i was using. my stuff was so depressing. so here ima give it a try...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

looking out the window
threw the glass that once spelt sorrow
the sun is shining down on me
just this ray of sunlight
is makin' me happy

and who do i have to thank for this?
why have I come all the way here?

I have youto thank, god, for carrying me threwout the years
I never knew you were there
catching me everytime i fell
even tho i cursed and sweared
thinking i was under a spell

and looking back
on all those nights i spent crying
wishing for a faster way of dying
if only id have known
you were there all along
if only id have seen
you were there for me
even tho i was a drug fiend

and now i see the beauty
the beauty in the pain
i guess i always saw it,
thats what made me a poet ey?
but now i truly see the way it made me grow
and im not just saying that
i can feel it, head to toe

now each breath i take
isnt filled with intoxication
and each breath i exhale
isnt filled with bullsh*t
enough to feed the nation

so tonight when i go to sleep
i'll be thinking of the others
who are just like me,
like the girl i used to be
crying each and every night
dying for a way
to make it all alright...

Ill be thinking of the day when they see the light
holding your hand,
and giving up the fight.

thank you god, for giving me back my life
