Be Better

Reach behind the veil And find the scars are worse for neglect, and i can see them regardless In my youth, i'd think it a mirror, or a shell i deserved to break The blood is up and flowing And a boil exasperating as it disappears, i may be weak and sunless But i'm far from the empty husk i was when i had no other choice (My hands and feet have found purchase despite my mistakes; I'm looking around At the here and the now, and I'm no longer desperate. For the first time ever, I'm moving up.) The blood is up and rushing to the end I could predict And I hope I'm wrong I'm carrying all my intentions But I'm not so deluded as to think I can't see where they lead (My hands and feet have found purchase despite my mistakes; I'm looking around At the here and the now, and I'm no longer desperate. For the first time ever, I'm moving up.) I crawled through it, taking the hands that were offered I ran from the need that I didn't want to feel I don't have it all isolated, but give me the time and I'll solve the equation and open the door to tomorrow
