You may think it to be over
You may have given up
But I know you are stronger
Times like this can be tough
You just have to hold on a little longer
I know you've had enough
Your time will come my friend
The sea will always calm again
Even though the storm is rough

Here comes the countdown.
5...
The blades clang.
The battle leaves no one alive.
5...
4...
Death does not discriminate,
Not between the rich nor the poor.
5...
4...
3...
The ghostly silence echos through the trees.
5...
4...
3...
2....
There's no one left to mourn for you.
5...
4...
3...
2...
1...
All of this will be forgotten with the rising sun.

There will be no blood tonight,
There will be no fear.
I'm eliminating all threats today.
You will find safety here.

Come child and I'll keep you safe and warm,
I'll wrap you in my arms,
I'll wipe away your tears.

Breathe,
Laugh,
Live.
You're free.

You're free from the pain,
You're free from the shame.
All of the disgrace has been cleansed from your name.

This is the promise I make to you,
This is what will come when you leave the world behind.

I'll wipe away your tears,
I promise.

Like a shark surrounds it's prey,
You skirt around me,
Never hitting head on.
Backing into a corner,
Scaring me into hiding.

Was the pain you caused not enough?
Are not my emotional scars enough?
Or is it because I fought back that you need something more permanent?

Eliminating my army,
Eliminating my support,
One by one.
Until I am alone...

I will not give up,
I will not back down.
I will fight,
I will win.
No more of my blood will be shed for you,
No more of my tears will you get.
The fear has turned to anger,
I'm warning you now, RUN.

This haunted corpse,
This broken shell,
This empty lifeless body with it's putrid smell,
She still walks.

She roams the streets,
Her heart on her sleeve,
Bleeding and broken, yet still beating.

There's no light in her eyes,
There's no mirth in her body,
No truth in her speech,
And no joy in her laugh.
There's nothing left.

She gave all she had,
Bled until she could bleed no more.
A corpse.
A shell.
She still walks.
There's nothing left.

I'm no quiet wonder,
I'm no shining beauty,
I'm no special genius,
I'm just ordinary.

I don't stand out in a crowd,
I don't have a voice that everyone listens to,
And I don't have the body that makes heads turn.
I'm just ordinary.

I have the arms that welcome everyone,
I have the hands that ache to heal,
I have the quiet voice and the curtain of hair,
The ears that will listen,
The heart that will bleed for you and care.
But, I'm just ordinary.

Nothing special,
Nothing beautiful,
Just ordinary.

There's me,
There's them.
Same room,
Different planet.
To them, I don't exist.

Secluded I sit,
Quiet I stay.
I don't really belong in their group anyway.

Like a ghost,
I slip through their radar.
Unseen.
Like ships in the night,
Slipping through foreign waters
Scared and alone,
Just trying to make it through.

Their happy, smiling faces,
Their mundane, mind-numbing chatter.
Drugs. ***. Parties.
To me, none of that matters.
Same room,
Different planet.
