Many strive for greatness
Others just want to make it
Another day
They put up a fight
They don't think they can win
The task is simple enough
Sink or swim
A choice that seems easy
But who would've thought
It would not be what you sought
It is a constant struggle
You fight or die
But you can't help to wonder
What it would be like to fly
To be free
Free of worry
Free of fear
And you don't have to pretend
That you've been okay all year.

He comes at night
Where no light is seen
He knows your darkest fears
And desires
He knows when to come
He comes with a blade in hand
And only has one demand
All he has to say is "do it"
And it is done
Now you are dripping blood
Dazed and confused
You sit and cry
Blade at your side
Wondering what it would be like
To die
Tired and sleepy
You wake up
Hoping it was a bad dream
You lift your arms and see
You remember
There was no demon
It was no demon
But you

Controlling and deceiving
You will be condemned
When your time comes to an end
You've scarred me forever
It will never be forgiven
Not as long as you're living
Taking advantage of a child
Is a major crime
It is a past you'll never leave behind
A monster is what you are
You feed on innocence
Show no restraint
And are the epitome
Of ******* and hate
I long to be your fate

She sat there
With tears running down her cheeks
Wondering if
The pain would ever leave
She thought she knew the answer
But she was wrong
Now she is dead and gone
What she didn't know killed her
So you need to hear
There are better days ahead
After all the ones youll dread
But instead of being dead
You'll be very much alive
Maybe even thrive
So give yourself a chance
This is not the end
Now go live my friend

Hope doesn't rid your pain
It makes you cling
To what little you have left
So maybe one day
You can get what has been taken away
With no hope
There is no life
Only emptiness
No reason to live
Or to make it through another day
As long as you have hope
You have will
A reason to live
It shines a light upon your future
And gets you through your day
It lets you say
That life was meant to be this way
And that you'll be okay

Once again here I am
Can't believe I've made it this far
I am young, alive and in my prime
But I can't help to wonder
What would happen if I died
I would see nothing, no one
Now that wouldn't be fun
A rotting corpse
Tears in my mothers eyes
Who would wish she could have said
Her last goodbyes
Her world engulfed in sorrow
Praying for a better tomorrow
Knowing her child is hollow
Just a shell
An emptiness
She would long to fill forever
But I've seen it all along
That this is what would happen
If I was gone

When all is lost
You hope and pray
That the sun will shine its golden rays
To brighten up your gloomy days
That what is lost
Will be found
And you will be lifted up
From the ground
And reach what you've long desired
Not left alone broken and tired

The night was dark
The air was cold
When things started to unfold
Words were said
Tears were shed
And as the panic spread
I went to bed
Awoken to a bad dream
Though all is not what it seems
Denial lets me sleep at night
All warm and tight
But I still feel the fright
And the panic
As it claws at the back of my mind
Just after I thought
It was all left behind

The man I call father
Will be the cause of my demise
He is a bearer of lies
He feeds off our cries
And is a shadow in the dark
He brings no joy, only sorrow
And is the reason I can't see tomorrow
For it is gloomy
An endless storm
Covered by shadow

Denial only worsens it
Though I wish it wasn't true
Repressing is only temporary
It leaves things askrew
Nothing will ever let me forget
Or even understand
The things that happened back then
A childhood I try to leave behind me
But somehow it always finds me
As hard as I've tried it will not go
It keeps pulling me under
Further and further
Down into a deep abyss
As far as It has to pull
Until I am no more
