Strength Is All I Need

everything has changed, its hard to say i feel this way. all i want to do is run away from the pain. i want to give up, but ill let you down, i cant stand to see you frown. my thoughts will slowly drown. just leave me be, i deserve to be free. i cant hold back i see the sky slowly fade to black. my heart burns like fire, i feel like im flying higher, no longer controlled by millions of wires, connected to me while society is complaining about me. i climb up the tree and listen to my mind. now i can finally find who i am inside. strength is all i need, you have to understand me. now i realize who i will one day be.
