Changing

The world passes by me
not noticing my existence
I'm all alone in this world
left to fight my own demons

Each day I manage a smile
to hide my decaying soul
they know nothing of this pain
that continues to eat me inside

I am no longer strong enough
to fight the battles of my soul
I can no longer say "I'm okay"
nor can I ever smile again

The rivers of pain flow out of me
there is no escape anymore
the untold secrets escape my eyes
the unknowing truth cut open and revealed

The darkness surrounds me
it traps me in its wrath
I can see no light in the distance
as my heart turns cold and black
