My Awakening

So you want to know my secret? You stole my soul from deep inside me An utter struggle to survive Can you keep a secret? You became an everyday problem You made me want to die. With my lips sealed, a smug smile became plastered upon my face No one knew how I felt. I was so hurt, so scared, and oh so lonely. Heartbreak, the lies you would make. This was my struggle In order to survive All I had to do was strive. Panting and drowning in your abyss of lies. My friends had not the slightest clue I would smile on the outside But deep inside, the true feelings would hide. I became hypnotized I became mute You drove me crazy Can you keep a secret? At night, my eyes failed to become lazy My mind became hazy. Eventually, I started to lose the fight Death, she had snuck up on me Just like a shadow in the night. Far worse than the monsters that would crawl underneath my bed More evil than all the words you had said. Can you keep a secret? I found the light at the end of the tunnel The light glistened in my face, all the darkness was erased. Can you keep a secret? This light is my symbol of Hope As I absorb this new found feeling My heart is healing. All the darkness vanished in thin air As if the burden of you, was never even there. I am a brave warrior now I am a survivor of yesterday I am a fighter for tomorrow I am, I am, I am… Yes, in life I may be put down But I will still prevail. Even if I fail, I will try at it again and again I have a newfound bravery Dwelling deep inside of me Everyone knows it So you want to know my secret? If only mere words could compose it
