The Struggle
Strain
On my back
This burden
Will burst my veins
The strength to hold on
I lack
Can't shield the attack
I shake
Under the weight
Keep throwing the bricks
Until my soul is sick
Create my fate
Laugh when I cry
And dance when I die
Venom filled words
Burn through the porcelain
Stabbing the sword
Deeper in blood red skin
The hiss
Fills my ears
Hit
Miss
One more sear
More burning tears
Death will come
Victory for the meek
Can't help but succumb
To the power you seek
We stand tall
A power so great
You've become so small
No room for your hate
Our scars erased
By the one deserving
The highest place
