The Last Strand

There's a reign of pain Tormenting my worn out brain Driving me insane I just can't seem to maintain Sometimes biting a bullet Seems the most humane You just never foresee When rational thoughts flee And your driven to your knees Begging God please Grant me a reprieve But with all my begging for mercy There's no guarantee To be set free So I fight this war Behind locked doors Curled up in fetal position On the cold marble floor Beads of sweat pouring out my pores And the voice inside screams I can't take any more

There is this unique insurance your works always give my expectations And that satisfaction only builds more castles for my curiosity to thrive, waiting for subsequent results of your talent and thinking.
