Powerless

Time and time again I fight To make what's wrong into a right But though I try and give it my all I'm powerless and feel so small The world is burning outside my window But I have memories as a memento Of what my life was before it became Every day is death the same The ones I love board up their doors And the waves wash up upon my shore My heart becomes so aching cold My soul is painstakingly sold For a drop of power, what would I give? These tragedies I have to relive I remember then how bad it felt To be stuck there with the worse cards dealt I try to give people my best But when the fire comes to rest The bridges cannot hold the weight Of the burden that they all create So I lock myself up into a cage To contain all of my inner rage Toss away that cursed key To the bottom of an open sea Depression eats away my soul Until I turn into a ghoul Flashbacks haunt me in my sleep While anxiety is a cliff so steep And every day I die a little more Longing for what I held before And then once again I realize That I'm truly powerless inside Powerless...inside
