My Beautiful Name

By Laura

To name the pain
To give a face
It's not insane 
A hopeless case

My head is clear
My heart is numb
I'm full of fear
A faulty sum

I will not burn
I won't expire
Another turn 
The stakes are dire

These days are dark
With specks of light
I'll find the spark
Or lose my sight 

I wish I could
Keep up the fight
I wish I would
Give up the night

The battle stand past
The sum of my will
The cracks in the glass
The demons I kill

It all weighs on me
It's all leaking out
So when I am free
I'll stand up and shout

I'll shout it so loud
My love in a name
Cause she is so proud
My beautiful name
