My Unwritten Story
I've repeated my story a dozen times,
Given small glimpses of my troubled mind
Words can't describe the memories held from within,
Won't free me from a battle that I don't know how to win
In chaos, is my comfort and that shouldn't be,
Trying to break these chains binding me
Someone please tell me how to ease the pain,
I've spent sleepless nights racking my brain
How does this hurt cease to end?
Darkness my calling and long time friend
Haunted by my past deep within my soul,
The wounds I've endured taking their toll
I scream into nothingness without a sound,
I want to run away and never be found
I seek resolution without any results,
My heart is yelling a shrill cry of tumult
Save me from myself, could you help me please?
I'm wavering under this pressure and falling on my knees
My pride consumes the hope I seek,
Leaving me helpless and given into defeat
You may not understand and judge as you may,
This bitter existence is what made me this way
Betrayed by the people that I needed the most,
The horrors of the moments that haunt me the most
Happiness is such a forlorn word,
I once obtained it but that was a lifetime ago
I know there has to be a place where I belong,
Where my spirit dances to a beautiful song
Where do I go? Which path the best?
Don't know if my strength shall again pass the test
Maybe it's tragic the hopelessness I see,
I don't know how to change things that came to be
Reliving these images remembered in my head,
Remembering each time, that, I'd rather been dead
Do you know how it feels to be alone?
Beaten and broken by other people's stones
I know that it seems, as though, I'll always be lost,
But forever I'll keep fighting at any costs
My reality may be different paved with shattered glass,
I'll always remember, " That this too shall pass!"
You'll never know the strength etched into my being,
Troubles have come and I've sent them fleeing
There's a reason for everything both good and bad,
I'm just grateful for the few blessings I've had
I can't be sure of what the future holds,
It's unwritten story waiting to be told
