i'm tired of wasting away
i want to gather what's been lost and destroyed
and bury the demons that have kept me astray
the ashes will not be remains
but reminders of how i've grown and become strong
this is not a declaration of my weakness
but an announcement that i am a fighter
who is sick of silently screaming,
i want to scream until my lungs are sore
i don't want to put up a smile to a mask that is slowly slipping,
i don't want to give up, not anymore
