The demons calling from everywhere
Inside this tomb I sit and stare
Alone and shaken I fight this war
Afraid of what the future may have in store
My mind's been bent my soul's been torn
A change in life is what I've sworn
The past is lingering, haunting my present
Pulling me down in a slow descent
In a smoky room I sit and defend
A shattered world I try and mend
Could this be fate hunting me down
Or merely a chance to turn things around
With the strength from those who stand by my side
I must be strong I must not hide
For years will come and years will go
Friends will leave and friends will grow
Time will be the ultimate test
To leave things behind, put things to rest
With every sunset there's always a sunrise
Opening doors right before your eyes
Always remember that life is not set
Merely a table where you've placed your bet
But...
I am the student
Fighting the tears
Saving the crying
Till no one is near
I am the son
Coming each day
With tons on my mind
But nothing to say
I am the friend
With so much to hide
Keeping the secrets
That are deep inside
I am the brother
With sadness in me
Striving to be
The best I can be
I am the boyfriend
Acting so strong
Hiding my tears
Like nothing is wrong
But I am myself
When I cry at night
Hoping things
Will be alright
Wondering why
I pretend to be tough
When can I be me?
When will that be enough?
I took a pen to write down my pain. The pen cried before my eyes.
It's better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you're not.
