Darkness weighs behind my eyes
Weighing them down as if I hadn’t slept in years
Maybe one day I’d find the will to rise.
Anger roaring in my head without a reason
And yet I feel I may scream before the next season.
Tears flood my eyes and my heart feels heavy
Because I feel like I am the burden that everyone else must carry.
Alone in my head and fighting a silent battle
Feeling the weight of this never ending rattle.
He’s by side gripping my hand
To remind me this is where he will stand.
Not alone in this world
This is the truth I am told.
Let me in the demons wait for me to fold
This is a fear I hold.
I am stronger this time should they need to rise
They will not get me, no not this time.
