I was lost in the shadows, drowning in my pain Numbed by the pills, drowned by the rain
Trying to escape the scars that remained
Underneath the surface, I was going insane
I thought the numbness was my only friend
But soon I realized it was all just pretend
So I let go of the vices that kept me blind
Embracing the truth that was so hard to find
Letting the scars define me, beautifully aligned
Perfectly imperfect, my true self I finally bind
Forced to face the reality I'd been running from
No more pills, no more poison, just me under the sun
Learning to love the scars, one by one
Embracing the journey, the battles I've won
I am a work in progress, forever on my way
Regretting nothing, for it all led me today
So I stand tall, unafraid to be seen
Embracing the scars, in the mirror, I preen
Learning and growing, a beautiful sheen
Watered by knowledge, my spirit so keen
I am perfectly imperfect, a masterpiece in the making
Learning from the scars, never forsaking
Life's purpose in every step I'm taking
Not letting poison in, my spirit awakening
