Again

 I'm painting my nails pink again.

I enjoy swinging a rope again.

Hell, I'm almost me again.

I had to die to get to my rebirth.

I would thank you for killing me,

but I don't hate myself anymore.

I like whisky and 7 again, 

there's a Coors Light in my hand most nights.

Just like old times huh?

Minus all the things that were eating me alive.

I read more books these days.

God and I hash shit out and He tells me who and where I am.

I wish I had asked Him some things a long time ago.

It wouldn't have changed much,

it all unfolded how it was supposed to.

He tells me there's something I'll never believe coming for me.

I can't wait to see it. 

I'm back to believing in the beauty of scars,

the cuts and burns, every bruise and its worth.   

My heart has shed enough blood for a lifetime.

Like a muscle, I had to be shredded to grow.

What I once thought ruined me, made me. 

I'll see you on the bloody side.

I'll be waiting with an open hand and healed up, scarred up heart.
