No from 85 by Fatal Flaws

I’m afraid of what comes next / I am tired but I find my steps / I loved my certainty / But even better being and true and free

I used to think that I needed / Someone above holding my hand / That giving up all I wanted / Would open up space to function / At higher planes of perfection / Where I would learn endless lessons / And I would be held forever / No earthly love could be better / That my desires were all idols / That I deserved the tears I cried / That life is just a passing moment / It’s almost better to die

No!

I’ve learned my heart’s not dead / Never was no matter what they said

So fucking glad that I made it / I thought about other exits / But there was still light inside me / I trusted love let it guide me / I worked through pain, shame and poison / Started to feel more alive / Undoing years of compressing / Trying to learn not to hide / And still today I am working / To love myself as I am / Freer than I’ve ever felt / Ask me to go back I’ll say

No!
