Starting Over

As I watch you try and finally love yourself

You’re stuck feeding the ego of your demons

Stripping away every part of yourself that you built with sweat and blood

Every new layer revealing your weaknesses

They began to scare you

You finally see being strong isn’t so easy

Loving your enemies isn’t any easier

More layers reveal how tired you are becoming and you’re ready to give up

You’re looking for a way out

Trying to hold the pieces left of you together

Cutting your love line,

The hardest part of starting over

Slightly sweet in the most bitter time
