Strength

by MidniteRain   Feb 27, 2007


I don't have the strength
To carry on anymore
I am trapped here now
Beyond this locked door
And I yearn for the light
But if I fall asleep
I will not make it through the night
My body will give up
And somehow I will slip through
These fingers held tight
I am tired of the facade
This false face
That led me to this place
Because of the mistakes I had made
For I believed if I was strong
And held back those tears
I could carry on
And overcome my fears
"How does it feel?"
"To not feel those tears
Streaming down your face?"
"How can it be?"
"That you cannot be
Yourself in this place?"
With these words I mock my soul
Cursing it for leading me
Down this dark dreary hole
But I will do
What needs to be done
For if I am dead
How can I help anyone?
