I felt the sun on my face today
I opened my arms and welcomed my life
For once I look forward to tomorrow
I'm thankful I get to see light
Eight years ago I didn't want to be here
I wanted to end it all that night
I don't think I was weak or scared,
It was just more response to fight or flight
I've never seen the world so clearly
Now I smile as I wake
I'm thankful to be here with my family
Instead of looking up from my grave
I don't think it will ever be easy
I don't think I'll ever fully heal
Sure darkness creeps in from time to time
But now I'll allow myself to feel.
