All this time I've been dreaming a lie;
Their whispers echo in my mind,
Bouncing off of the rocks at my feet.
All that we had is lost,
Buried with my soul in shame.
Drowning in endless misery,
My body dwells within.
My screams of fear and pain
Are put out by the tsunamis of guilt.
Staring at the ceiling at night,
I waste in sighs of sorrow.
The shards of my shattered soul
Are shared among the victorious with smiles.
My dismay is laughed at,
Consumed by my enemies with hatred.
The shards of me are too sharp to piece together.
Thought they're big enough to cut me into pieces,
They're too small to matter.
Bruises decorate my body.
Blood paints my face from the words of my mortal enemies.
You're in the dark;
Whispering words of destruction.
I can feel you in my sleep.
Your heart is pounding in my head.
The war we've declared has stripped my of my courage,
Blinding me without hesitation.
I'm dying inside,
Withering away from your touch.
I'm too lost to be saved.
And in anguish, my heart screams.
My soul cries desperately for deliverance.
Will someone save me from the hate?
Denied is my claim for my right to be free.
My right to remain silent has finally overpowered me,
Pelting me with the glowing embers of disdain.
Their actions have defiled me,
Their words violated me with arduous abuse.
They've rebuked my desolate soul
As if my desultory personality could corrupt them.
I never fathomed that these bombastic predators could harm me,
But they ransack me with insuperable fear.
Vulnerable they took me
Vulnerable they will discard me.
But at the last minute, the milestone of hope arose.
I've been lost for so long
He's finally found me!
But my porcelain heart has already been broken,
Knocked to the floor by the footballs of life.
Forever it has waited in hope and earnest,
Forever it will finally rest… in peace.
