Fearless To Afraid

There was once a time When I was unafraid, Then I met my match And my bed was laid. I was fearless, Until I was afraid, I prayed and I prayed, I fought for my right To live through the night. The devil always tried picking fights, He tore me to shreds with delight, He took the form of whom I loved And laughed at me from above, As he pulled my strings like a puppet, he yearned for the day I'd die, for the day I quit trying to fight, just waiting to shove me into my shallow grave, But “I hate you,” was always more than he could say. There was once a time When I had it all together, All I had was mine, I floated through life, Like a feather, I’d fly. Life was so easy, Until I met my worst enemy, The thought of him still makes me uneasy, I wish meeting him hadn’t been my destiny. I was so full of purpose, he filled me with his false promises, turning my life upside down, like a circus, he was the ring master and I completely lost it. I lost everything that meant something, I felt as if I wasn't worth anything, I was angry at everything worldly and I just wish as I was screaming that someone heard me. From fearless to afraid, I wish I’d stayed At home where somebody believed in me, But I was too blind to see. Everything dear to me was gone, because of him so much went so wrong, I lost myself along the way and I truly thought I'd never live to see another day. For once in my life, I was terrified, as he pulled his knife and touched it to my throat he screamed in my face, "Stab me, kill me or shut the **** up!"
