Through It All

These wide open eyesThey take in everythingThe pain, the tears, and open woundsThey live in fear of seeing another day Through it all, I will be thereI will be your strengthI will wrap my loving arms around youAnd keep you perfectly safe These ears hear of evil thingsOf death, suicide, and endless searchingThey want to…

Slipping Away

Don’t tell me to liveCause I’m dying insideDon’t tell me to go onCause I’m quitting I’m falling into myselfForgetting to hold onto lifeMy soul is slowly slipping awayI’m giving in to the emptiness I used to liveEvery day with a smile, masking the depressionBut then one day I let goAnd let myself fall I’m falling…

Quiet Injustice

The suffering, the painIt all adds up to nothingToo much has been forgottenWill life continue to go on? This quiet injusticeNever given a moment’s thoughtThe silent screams of those who have fallenReaching out to the lost The blood shed, the bodies burnedThe innocent lives takenThe nightmare remains with the deadAnd for them vengeance will never…

Lost In My Life

I walk alone, even in my dreamsStreams of tears running down my faceI have nothing to reach out forI wish all this pain would end Give me a reason to liveGive me a reason to hope for better things‘Cause I’m lost in my lifeAnd I’m tired of walking through darkness I cry alone, even in…

Catch My Soul

I am hereTrying to be strongFighting for my freedomBut you won’t let go My dreams flying awayThe heart-break is near, what will I sayI fall, I scream, but no one hearsSinking to this floor, can’t hold on anymorePraying that angels will catch my soul I am runningTrying to just stay aliveBut soon you catch upAnd…

Silence

God I begged you again and againTo hear my helpless criesI’ve fallen to my knees every nightBut you refused to answer My prayers drift back to EarthSeemingly unheard by the almightyI finally cease to try anymoreAnd silently drift off to sleep It’s another day and I again cry“God hear me, God please answer”I’m drowning in…
