Lost

Inside I want to scream
To wake up from this dream
Everything is piled on me
Trying to break free

I can’t think
Focus, or flee
Struggle away from
My enemy

Walls are closing in
What is happening
I need a moment of clarity
Just to be away from me

Tell me what to do
So I can be you
Living with power
Strength, not to cower

Each day goes by
Knowing not what to do
Tear you apart
Or cry because of you 

Confusion inside my mind
Blackness, am I blind
Fire rising from my feet
Blood spilling into the street

This is not what I wanted it to be
There is nothing left
Just my destiny
Pain

My death.
