It always takes
The deepest cuts
To wake us up
To wake us up
It always takes
The sharpest knives
To change our lives
To change our minds
It always takes
The strongest pains
To make us brave
To keep us sane
It always takes
The deepest cuts
To wake us up

Thank you. I needed this tonight. I cannot tell you how much. Thank you.
😀
You never cease to amaze me. I really love this one. You. Are. Amazing.
Thank you deeply. It’s good to know someone still believes that
I wouldn’t trust the person that didn’t believe that to be very save or a good judge of character. My mind wouldn’t change if the world depended on it.
I will always be grateful for your support. Thank you
You will always have my support.
Thank you for posting this tonight. I think so many times you help me with your words. Help me to feel not so insane, or not so stupid for thinking or feeling the way I do at times. Thank you again for opening your heart and letting magnificent words flow from it.
Ah, you are assuming me to be sane lol. I dare not claim that. My words are sometimes what seems like the ravings of a crazy person. I’m glad that you can relate to the feelings. Thank you very much for staying devoted through my craziness 🙂 ❤
Your “craziness” seems pale compared to me sometimes. Or perhaps it is all a matter of perspective. I am so thankful that you write. I look at your poems many times and think…. That is the word/words to describe that feeling or thought. ❤
I edit my craziness sometimes to be less offensive if that makes you feel better lol
It does because sometimes I feel like the only one who is crazy!
We are all a little crazy 🙂
So true, I love the repeat of the first verse at the end. It greatly empathizes your deep point. I love the way the poem flows. beautifully true. Thank you for sharing. XX
Thank you for reading!
