Who I Am

weakness and fears
on display
motivation
seems to fade
I mustn't lose sight
of the reason i fight
For my mind won't let me be
I am my own worst enemy
line the Target in my sight
Even though it's me I see
Pull the trigger I just might
I got to know
I must define
This substance unknown
that clogs my mind
I must find a way
got to find
what it is
i left behind
I'm afraid to say
The lengths I go
to keep you away
Access denied
You'll never know
This knowledge I hide
I cannot show
For your sake
my faith is unknown
what lies within
cannot be shown
This burden I bear
I bear alone
I dare not share
the fear I've known
with each passing day
my strength it fades
Struggle to keep
my rage in caged
The hate in me
mustn't see the light of day
As reality drifts further away
The darkness grows brighter
As the Light Of Hope
I desperately need
Gets harder and harder
for me to see
answers will come
and soon you'll see
Just Who I am
Now I know my destiny
Finally my mind is free
But I fear my time is near
Death will come and I will fall
I'll be the one
to save us all
