Fighting Reality

Come menace of the night

Take me back to irrevocable solace

Lend me your dagger

And be swift my hands,

To pry the agony from this living corpse

No more! I say, No More!

I refuse to succumb to this misery and grief.

I am but a lost soul

I am but a fragile being

I am but who I am

Yet in the abyss of distant memories

I ponder my very existence

Were I created for earthly torment,

I would gladly surrender myself to the hands of Hades

Deprive me not of my yearning for bliss

Leave me be!

Leave me be!

Spare me this life I did not choose

My being can endure no more tragedy

Leave me to rest in eternal peace

Have these eyes not shed enough tears?

Has this heart not received enough blows?

Have these hands not clasped enough in pleading?

Release me from these bonds of brokenness

Let me live the remaining days of my life
Let me be contented
