Remember Me

From dusk till dawn and dawn to dusk,
These desolate, lonely days grow old.
I’m nothing more then just a mere shadow,
Something else to ignore.

Always the outcast they just never understood,
The “gothic” child that sat alone,
Cowering away from those who loved to hate me,
Sadly, I could never understand why.

Alone I was,
Shrouded by fear and despair,
With no comfort to seek,
I cried at night knowing these tears were empty.

My world was my only sanctuary,
All that I abide was breaking me inside,
Not even bloodshed relieved the pain,
Away in hiding, my body, was dying.

Remember me.
Through all the pain I have endured,
Remember me,
Even though I am dying inside,
Remember me.
I am of the forgotten,
Remember me.

Bound and tied down,
I was enchained to cruel emotions.
Like a caged animal,
I was unable to break free.

The reality world was torturing my soul,
My doubts became sinister,
For I was so close to believing that all souls were cruel.
I turned away from it all.

Despair reaped me of my strength,
My hope was near destroyed.
My strength was spent my battle almost lost,
The end was near for me.

Remember me.
I, the troubled soul.
Remember me.
As the “dark” and “morbid” child.
Remember me.
When your hate becomes fear.
Remember me.

I was doubtful for a time,
Not knowing if I were to discover a heart in others,
But there came a time where doubt became reality,
I found sanctuary within a dark asylum.

Wary at first, I was hesitant in meeting the dark souls there,
But they welcomed me in a way no other has.
A smile broadened across my face,
At last I have found companions that are like myself.

I thought that I was the only one,
Doomed to walk the world alone,
But now that I have found these dark companions,
I know I can be at ease, for they make me feel accepted and secure.

Remember me.
Through these darkened days,
Remember me,
Though I’m broken inside.
Remember me.
When all hope is lost.
Remember me.

Now is the hour,
As these days come to pass,
I only hope I can keep what I have obtained,
For they were so hard to redeem.

My life was shrouded by despair,
I never thought I’d see a light,
I knew through all this despair it seemed I had to endure it all,
For it was a tribulation to see if I had what it took to surpass life.

Within this asylum, amongst all my dark companions,
I realise now that these people are my family,
Together we don’t have to feel the pain of the ignorant.
We can all see it through.

Remember me.
Through the good times we may share.
Remember me.
If I were to die today
Remember me.
In times of need.
Remember me.
For I’ll remember you.
