Convalescence

I understand it
My entire life I was
Searching for nothing (nothing)
Living just for living

But now I feel
The will to live consuming me
I felt shallow, empty
Trapped in my own past

I am too young to think I know something about life
I know that each day I can be a better version of me

I'm trying to be better
I just need to trust myself
I need to be the difference I want to see

I'm not haunted by my past
My scars are part of me
Remorse is a prision
I'm no longer trapped in

I want to be all I can be
A man who walks on his own
And I know I can be
I'm trying to be better
And I won't let me drag myself down
Anymore
