These thoughts I let define me
Exhaustion pumps through my veins
I am enveloped in misery
I have become numb to all the pain

Everything is silent
There is only the beat of my heart
Unable to share what's inside of me
I wander alone in the dark

As if I were crystal that has been dropped
My pieces crash to the floor
I look aimlessly as they surround me
I have become the person I deplore

Within my mind a storm is brewing
The clouds have turned an ugly gray
The winds of self destruction are agitated
With malice they scream my name

Once I fought like a warrior
Now it is so hard not to succumb the shame
I fight with all that I have in me
Knowing in the end It is only myself, I have to blame

I beg of you not to try and fix me
This is who I truly am
I drop deep, but I pull myself up
Please don't try to understand

This is my battle
I know its so all too well
No one else can do this for me
It alone is my inner hell

In the end, I rise above this
Dusting off the immense pain
My pride whimpers softly
Tenderly I cradle my sane
