You are there inside, hidden from view,
Not knowing if in my life time
That you will visit me or who.
I have found you,
In me not seen
But your intentions are true,
You are the enemy within,
The enemy I must fight for life
never to give in.
I will never give in to you
Not for a moment,
Not for a second,
I will fight this battle
Not by myself,
As I have something you don't have
Friends and family,
That will help me through.  
You may take some of us,
Good people lost in the battle within.
But know there are others
That will fight the fight, and win to live on,
Knowing you were there
But will never give in.
We will never give up,
Never give in, because the enemy within
Could strike any off us
But we will be strong,
As we are never alone
We never give in.

So far did you fall,
Wings now gone
Feathers litter the floor.

Once whither than the clouds,
Now discarded,
The colour once pure
Now *****
For you are a fallen one.

For a sin we will never no,
But a man
You have become.

Wings fallen,
Halo gone,
What was once was in heaven
Now just one of us.
I’m sorry I wasn’t the homecoming queen.
I’m sorry I wasn’t the star basketball player.
I’m sorry I wasn’t captain of the football team.
I’m sorry I wasn’t head cheerleader.
I’m sorry I wasn't an honors student.
I’m sorry I wasn't the most popular kid in school.
I’m sorry I’m not pretty.
I’m sorry I’m not skinny.
I’m sorry I’m depressed.
I’m sorry I’m complicated.
I’m sorry I’m not good enough for you.
I’m sorry I’m a waste of time.
I’m sorry I’m a disappointment.
I’m sorry I’m me.
*…but I’m even more sorry that I’m alive.
Every day you wait for the pain to fade, because you've almost lost all that you've made. You look at me with those tear stained eyes, but I swear I'll pull you out this time. You say you're alone, but turn away from the wall and you'll find me waiting.

You looked for a way out, but with that shadow looming over you're shoulder. Its hard to find light. But your stronger then you know, you can make this right.

I would do anything to stop your shaking, but there's nothing I can say. You just have to stop that thinking, that you shouldn't live another day.

Don't wait for a way out, cause day in and day out you could be finding help. You say you don't know where the hell your going in, well look into my eyes and I'll tell you.

You say you give up, I know what's its like too. There's rarely a way back from that. I know what's it like, don't just give up.
The trees that bear no leaves, and
one single red bird that sits upon the only evergreen tree.
Well this is the kingdom of isolation,
it has a broken Queen.

The only sounds that nobody ever hears are
her silent screams.
The screams of the past she can't let go, oh how they echo.

Well this is the kingdom of isolation, where
the floors are covered in broken glass and crimson snow.
Do you remember
when the dragon saved the princess
from that awful knight
because I can remember it clearer than most

the knight, a greedy *******
who's foul lips
wrapped around a glass bottle
who's foul lips
sought the bottle
and nothing more

and remember when he hit the princess that first time
remember when he grabbed her hair
remember when he shoved her down
put away the scars
the scratches
the bruises
treated it as
'oh, he's just showing his love'

and remember
remember that one night
when she finally called his bluff
she said 'no, you don't love me'
remember when he hit her with the bottle
the knight, what a **** bag
but after that,
came the dragon
with his tattoos and heavy beard
on his motorcycle
and beat the knight away
****** him to hell
or at least prison
and a lot of angry inmates

and the princess and the dragon
set away
to have a nice little life together
with the night safely locked and gone
in a far away tower.
