No Turning Back

So close to this feeling once more
the pain and humiliation building
more than I have ever carried before.

Darkness comes to embrace me
releasing me from the light's embrace
is it too late to sweep away the debris?

I've turned around so many times
heart felt cries and stupid rhymes
I never could imagine the brink again
no matter how hard I cried in the night.

I scream out but no one's there
an empty hole filled with despair
the night drags on and I'm still here
waiting for something that will never appear.

Am I one of the forgotten
the ones only remembered now and then?

I'm falling and there's no escape
the hole is dark and filled with lies
If I reach the bottom surely I can't rise.

Look at me
I've hit my knees
I'm at the bottom
There is no reprise.

The mirror of my image is infinitely cracked
My heart and mind can't stay intact
I've reached the brink
there's no turning back.
