Powerless

Powerless (Dark Clichés) In a rage, in disarray, I can't help but feel this pain I start the page again, stray the path again, on the road I go insane Hide from myself, hide from everybody else as well I hear the voices telling me that I must turn and walk away Face the truth in the mirror, face the reflection of your fear The mirror black, and all of life's dark clichés intact I am powerless to fight Caught in the undertow, like an anchor pulling down I am stuck in the mire, and I'm tired of the endless struggle to meet each need Conflicting interests and I'm alone to resolve the conflict Find solutions to problems, the roots of which reach further than I am able Demons rise to face me, eye to eye I am no match How little I will fight if they want me I've reached a point in my life where uncertainty rules the day One moment to the next, I am here, I am there, really nowhere In between the right and left, the right and wrong I don't fit in or belong in this state of fallen grace Face the truth in the mirror, face the reflection of your fear The mirror black, and all of life's dark clichés intact I am powerless to fight....
