I close my eyes to the battlefield
And open them to a fire
Destroying me whole
As all I know is brought to a flame
I have prayed enough to fill a river
Walked far enough to circle the world
But yet I am no closer realization
Or hope in my life
The world has brought upon too many storms
Man has thrown too many stones
Making me weak in my resolve
And making me hope to die
When will this journey end
When will I know what I am suppose to find
Actually live a real life
For I feel I carry too much weight for the broken
I am numb to you tears
Dismissive of your pain
For you still have you eyes
And still have your sanity
My eyes are covered by my torment
My guilt makes my lungs feel as though they are full of nails
My heart struggles to keep beat
For it is ready to give to the pain
Let this pain be numbed by the medicine of the world
For I can no longer bare the weight upon my back
And move legs forward
I scream when will it end
Take my worldly possessions
For one night of freedom
One day of rest
Because this life was not my choice
