I was a storm without a sky

A shadow running from its own lie

Words like knives

I cut

I tore

But I swear

I’m not him anymore

You see the cracks in my reflection

But I’ve rebuilt this broken section

Forgive me

Not him

Not the ghost in my skin

I was young

I was blind

Now I’m fighting to begin

Forgive me

Not him

Let the past blow in the wind

I’m here

I’m whole

I’m not that guy again

I was a fire that burned too fast

Ashes of love

They couldn’t last

But time taught me how to stand

With steady feet and open hands

I know I can’t erase the scars

But I’ll rewrite the way we are

Forgive me

Not him

Not the ghost in my skin

I was young

I was blind

Now I’m fighting to begin

Forgive me

Not him

Let the past blow in the wind

I’m here

I’m whole

I’m not that guy again
