Slip Away

I’m slipping
Slipping away from myself
Back to the way I used to be
Dark days of pain and regret
Hard to breathe, hard to see
Impossible to understand

And maybe I am stronger for it
Maybe I am better for overcoming it
But things are different now
Friends have slipped away
Circumstances have changed
Love is gone where it once lived

Sinking slowly
Old habits lie in wait for
A moment of weakness to attack
With so many things stacked against me
Victory seems impossible
And I almost want to give in

Give in and just slip away…
