I Walked Away From It All

I wanted to walk away from it all,

And leave the world to die,

But something caught me when it came to the fall,

And somehow I learned to fly,

I don't know why we run from fear,

For fear is in everything we do,

In our twisted world,

Fear is all that's true,

As I felt the pain,

I opened my mouth to scream,

I felt I was no longer sane,

And I was swallowed in my dream,

I dreamed of many things,

But mostly of darkness and light,

Darkness may have fangs,

But light forces you to fight,

I followed your voice through the fields,

Until my screams drove that song away,

I have no defenses or shields,

Only words of silence my mouth can say,

I left you writing on the stone,

And then the stone shone,

Someday maybe you will fall,

But I will have long since walked away from it all….
