Mental injury intoxicates her brain

She's numb to all emotion

Building up walls like an architect

Eliminating her compassion

She longs for her sense of self

Searching and reaching for authenticity

Returning to a life unaltered and unharmed

Unchanged by her circumstances

Determination consumes her mind

As she works to become brighter inside

Tearing down the walls she once built

Recreating who she was

On the road to redemption

She stumbles and falls

But she has to get back up

in order to see results

Running to reach the finish line

She stares straight ahead

Her vision clear and heart healed

Finally feeling like her old self again
