The deepest cut

-All my life I have been afraid.-
-All my life scared to lose my way.-
-All my life led me to today.-
-The day when I must learn the hardest way.-
-Every step leading to this day.-
-The day I learn to lose and fail.-
-A deeper cut into the flesh of life.-
-A sharper kind of knife.-
-A deeper cut into the throat of grey.-
-Come take me far away.-
-The deepest cut will never really mend.-
-The deepest cut might kill you in the end.-
-The deepest cut is playing not to win.-
-It's what you hear in every word I sing.-
-It's beauty in the ugliest of things.-
-It's birds that fly with broken wings.-
