How do I change? I want to give up Things have been this way for so long Tried before but I'm not strong enough Maybe I've been doing it wrong I am only human after all The gutter for me is home I get so used to the fall Ground becomes a place unknown Beautiful but don't know it Mind not able to see The sky from where I sit Full of shame Somehow still empty When I watch loneliness take its toll (It's quite a hefty amount) Weak throughout my entire soul Not one part without Remember it is darkest right before dawn If no light can be seen Things that frighten in shadows on the lawn Come morning will feel like a dream Made it through most terrible storms Because I survived Witnessed Lucifer take on many different forms Each time he dies Another revived Can tell the difference between right and wrong The good and evil overlaps and combines Can go forward but only for so long I get lost cause I can't read the signs I wanted to be much more Felt I had the capability There still is hope that it's not too late for Me to blossom into the flower meant to be

Trying to channel my feelings into something productive but it's hard
