Push Ahead and (another poem) Alone

I feel the chains that hold me back

Strained, vision\'s fading to black

Wavering, as I\'m filled with dread

A fire kindles in my heart, I push ahead

 

Out of the corner of my eye, I manage to see

Beyond my challenges glows a light

As I continue to struggle to be free

Eyes fierce and determined, ready to carry on the fight

 

One by one, I watch my demons arise

They pull on my body, my hope their prize

Shaking them off, I stand firm and tall

Knowing only in my abyss can I fall

 

\"Throw everything you can at me, for I will never be broken

Every once and a while I will fail, however, this war will never be done\"

*I didn\'t really like that one at all so I\'ll just make another one here*

 

Alone

Is it truly worth wanting to belong?

If belonging just seems so wrong

 

It seems like no around me cares for my plight

This path I\'ve chosen is now leading me through the night

 

I try to yell and scream

About my hopes and dreams

So why does it feel like no one is listening?

 

I try to shock the illusion we\'ve so masterfully weaved

Bringing back the color, ripping away the gray

Struggling to show everyone the way

 

I try to spread the horrific truth, all the lies we never knew were there

Now I have a new most hated phrase and it is, \"I don\'t care\"
