Screaming from below,
It's scraping at my wrists,
Blades, this constant horror,
I've seen the last of this.
Ripping out my heart,
I'm nothing or so it seems,
The glass in my hand,
The shards evaded my dreams.
These words I can't understand,
It's the life I thought I knew,
Everything turned black,
Again, but I blame who?
Myself for the feelings,
God for my life,
The devil for the attention,
Or my hand clinging to the knife?
I never will know,
Why this is how I feel,
Never will I know,
Why my reality is real.
Gazing down a path,
To a life of more than this,
Wishing past the day,
When I am beyond this.
Touch the crystal ball,
And tell me what's to come,
Each time I try to foretell,
I fall so weak, so numb.
The end of this is soon,
What path will take me there,
Hold me as I walk,
I hate to say I'm scared.
I look to my right,
It's winding, shadowy, and long,
A horror to most,
And journey for the strong.
To the left I see,
A one way easy street,
A quick deceitful path,
Taken by the weak.
I feel each tiny tear,
As it rips down my cheek,
Symboling the thorns,
That have cut lines so unique.
Running down the path,
It cuts right through my skin,
The screams, the fears, the reign,
Is it all, just what's within?
I tell myself I'll make it,
And yes maybe I'll fall,
I am taking the chance, so I can say,
Yes, It was worth it all.

I'll Never Change One Lost Battle
It Made Me Who I Am Today
I'm Nothing Still,
I'm Nothing Still,
But One Day I Won't Have To Fake This Smile
