Show Me Your Weakness

I woke in the middle of the night Remembering so long ago A man who I could not fight All because he knew I was right I’ve known him my whole life I know the laws they hold us by I held back back all my strife Paralyzed by light that is in my mind Try to speak reason But his intellect I cannot find Running at me in a show his treason I just cannot see Why is this man is doing this to me Seeing in my eyes all the past pain Thinking I had let these memories drain Victimized why can’t you see I’ve endured your deathless torture Never showing any mercy Never expecting this to be your future Unarmed Naked before me you stand Shown to be wrong Leaving only flesh and bone Your eyes still piercing my soul Reality feels as if being hit by a stone Early segments of my life Painful pieces of reality Living with your twisted personality You have shown many faces Yet your soul remains faceless Familiar things give way to strange No mercy no reason just pain Fatal Sub-conscious control Threshhold of pain unfolds Yet Who am I to judge thy grace Awaken See what has seen This past is my reality and I am shaken Blind my eyes, I cannot see What has been done to me In my mind is only pain Remembering the memories that I drained
