I hide behind the thickest skin Must it be this way? The pain I feel There is no light at the end of my tunnel Only darkness A darkness that is as indestructible as my shield Fear consumes me What lurks in the shadows deep within my soul? Is it not for me to know? Will I ever find the answer? My life is slipping away I must make a choice Unfortunately My choice will always be wrong So who will guide me? Who will lend me their light? What path should I take? I need someone to wipe the tears from my cheek To love my tattered self To care for my shattered soul My needs are too great My heart too broken Too lost in the darkness Forever gone Helpless
