These silent wars that we always fight
Screams so loud they cannot be calmed...

Lightning starts to dance with the rain
The loud crackles of thunder quiver and shake...

Lost in your sky
Stars shine one by one...

I can't escape the weight on my shoulders.
This baggage constantly dragging me down...

My mind so restless with these questions
Weary from the energy you drain from me...

With age comes the reality
that life is just another perception...

I had dreams of a day when I would feel okay
I had hopes that after a while, this pain would go...

Wasting away this life I was given
Each breathe is one I wish I never had...

I've never felt your touch on my skin
Or had your soft lips on mine...

I'm suppose to the strong one that holds everyone...
Never to fall down or be crushed like a paper cup...

I close my eyes to push this away
But stronger hands pull it back quickly...

Did I make the right choices?
Am I seeing what I'm supposed to see...
