Down Hill,
Your doing great
You even have your head in straight
You finally made yourself a brand-new, shiny white clean slate
Now, all you have to do is not fall for the bait
Just stop and wait so you don't make a mistake and start going down hill
Don't let them win the kill
Don't let them steal the strength you gained to heal
Don't get brain washed into thinking that they feel
They wouldn't even spend a dime on you for a meal
Find you a person that will
But before anything , you have to make yourself a deal
Don't relapse and plummet down hill
Know your worth
Know that you don't need no woman or mad to do all the work
Be strong
Don't let them see you hurt
You've spent 7 months working to build a relationship even if its just a little bit
Y'all learned how to communicate the correct way
Learnt how to listen to what each other has to say
And you all will have a great day
Pathway was your saving grace
Be thankful you got sent off to that place
You learnt how to live in the child's place
Not being fast and not constantly looking over you shoulder thinking "who's that?"
You have a schedule but not always food that's very edible
Your no longer attempting to be a rebel
Because you finally relised it's okay to settle
To calm down even when people are around
You now know it's not always cute to show
To act out, to show your body, to act like your parents never taught you
Right from wrong, you choose wrong, you chose to make your stay long.
You wouldn't be honest, not with yourself, not for your mental health
But now you can say your well
Soon your going back to school. please don't make your people look like a fool
Don't relapse because of the new people. don't let them turn you evil.
Stay strong to your will
When you get anxious just stay still
Don't become ill over such a little spill
Keep pushing
DON'T GO DOWNHILL !
