One More Time
One more time, the sparks disappear
One more time, the world seems darker
One more time, I forget who I am
One more time, those feelings tear my soul apart
One more time, I try to convince myself
“Everything’s gonna be okay,
you’ve been through this.
All you need to do is keep walking, keep moving forward”
One more time, I beg myself to stop
To block the endless chatter inside my head
To pull out the uncertain imaginings that suddenly arise
To save myself from the abyss of darkness
One more time, I give myself a “second” chance
For the million time of hoping
Filled with countless fights with myself
Trying to walk steady on a tightrope
One more time, I encourage myself to take the next step
One more time, I see the beauty of the light
One more time, I feel the warmth of the sun’s rays
One more time, I feel alive — again
