You reopen all the wounds

I've worked so hard to keep sewn shut

You reach down to my very core

And take out all the good in me

A shell is what I am now

Fragile and cracking, nothing left inside

But pain that numbs me to happiness

A small smile on my face to look alive

But if you looked in my eyes 

Maybe you'd see that I'm dead

For so long now the light has been turned off

The spark gone

This darkness keeps growing and growing

Taking over my composure

I have turned from my greener grass

To dead, brown, and barren lands...

I've let you have the power

But I'm taking it back home

Rekindle my own fire

Turn the light back on

My Happiness will numb me to the pain you've caused in me

Once I take back control...

My smile will no longer be a cover up

But a genuine reflection of my soul

I will be branded with these scars

But they will NEVER be open again
