Towards the Light
There is a creaking deep
Down in my bones.
My heart skips a beat thinking
I'm in this world alone.
My head is all messed up,
I wish I could be numb.
It hurts to breathe, feels like
Something wrapped around my lung.
I have always feared this day,
Can I find good in the unknown?
It seems things are harder
When you're on your own.
There has to be a way out,
I want this to stop.
I have to believe I can
Make it to the top.
When she left it
Took away my breath.
I'm here alone stuck
Between life and death.
I have to rise above,
I need a different view.
I once believed, now I
Know dreams don't come true.
My world is bleak,
I stay in the dark.
For fear that they
Will see my bleeding heart.
I have to get through this,
I won't give into my freight.
The only thing left to do is
Walk towards the light.
