| Found me in the cornor of the highschool gym I didn't think anyone had followed me in You said it'd be alright You'd said it'd be ok I knew they were lies cause you said it to everyone, everyday "You've got everything to make it in this world" And you name the qualities of a perfect little girl But that's not me; it'll never be me Then I raise my head and opened my eyes You saw me I saw you Through our tears You said " You're gonna make it, if you can take it" Then I told you for strength; then I told you for love "We're gonna make it" "WE'RE gonna make it" The reality that I've forever hated you for said "You're gonna make it alone, if you can take it alone." Don't know where you are or how you've been but i want you to know: I made it and I can take it. |
| I wrote this round about my one year anniversery realease date, after which I was no longer considered at extreme risk for readmit. It is about a conversation with Allan, a MHT, who found me hiding in the dilaptated gym of Partial towards the end of my tour o' duty. |
