Letting Go

Memories of yesterdays haunt me

Fear runs through my mind

I seek only happiness

But this I cannot find

 

Eternal bliss

Temptations thrown in my way

I fight the demons that haunt me

Make them go away

 

With a heart to big

A handful of dreams

Alone is where I must stay

Forever it seems

 

Damaged by fear

Scarred by the past

Seeking only to sleep

Forever at last

 

A breathe my last breath

Broken ribs feel no pain

Nothing but a bruised body

For you to explain
