Giving In

I'm conflicted, my head is 
twisted. I can't hide my pain 
inside any longer. It's breaking 
me down. I've been battling an 
endless war inside myself. To 
headstrong to give into this 
aching heart of mine. I'm sick 
of it all. In the most desprite 
way I need a reset button. I 
want to wake and be a new 
man. I'm conflicted despite all 
the good in my life. I'm forever 
a tortured soul. My black cloud 
still remains over head. The 
sun hasn't shined on me in 
days. I'm getting to old to fight 
this battle alone. I'm giving in  
I need a shoulder to lean on. 
This weight has become to 
heavy for me to bare. 
Weakness is what's left of the 
strong man I once was.
