I Want What I Want

Through the valley of the shadow of death
 i shall not sin... I want what i want and have
 nothing to show... Growing up in the darkness
 many light years ago.... 


Flowing through the river fighting meaningless 
fights going through the world full of hatred
 and spite..cannot bear to see 
you die for me...

 For i have thrown the spear to fight and
 win guarantee... My heart grows weaker 
as i awake from my sleep.... 


I have sinned so many times my life 
means nothing to me... 
The depressions grows deeper as
 i sink weaker and weaker.... 

Satan appears as a friend for my 
demons held me in the end... 
With no friends.... Demons won 
the fight i pack my bags...
walked down the earth and 
fire struck my heart... Im finally where i belong....

Hello Autumn. So powerful and strong are your words and theme. This is very serious and deep. When someone reaches this state of mind it is so sad that the pain is so unbearable. If this is true to life. Hang in there and may you see life's light. Do not let depression or pain win. But I know depression is a day by day battle and struggle. I hope this was your poetic mind speaking and not true to life.
