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
