Everyone has a breaking point,
I've finally found mine
I need to learn how to breathe again
I'll have to start over, take baby steps
Life will have to happen one day at a time

Sigh, suck in the air
Slowly take in the world around me
I am so lost, my head is higher than the clouds

I can't cut, my pain has already been numbed
There is no emotion left to feel anything at all
I'm drowning, suffocating in this smog
This isn't pollution, just my life is all

What hope do I have to believe in?
I've turned morbid, beauty is no longer innocent or pure
The darkness is incredibly raw
This feels so sick, so wrong
I can't get out, I'm in too deep now

My saving grace has quit
All my allies have given up
I kicked them away, my fight was too hard
Too much for them to take

A stranger to myself, I'm nothing but lost
The light at the end of the tunnel has been shut off
Completely hopeless, stuck for all eternity

If there is any beauty left in this tragic world,
I just want to be healed
I no longer want to see this evil
Make it gone, please!
Just allow me to be cured
I wrote this on one of my really bad nights. I felt as if I was at my breaking point.

I loved the beginning of this, about the baby steps and having to start over. :3 And yes, we all do have our breaking points. But I think sometimes you actually have to reach them before you can "get better". (if that makes sense.) ^^
