Into the blackest of nights, I’ve let my voice ring out, yet to no achievement did anyone hear my fading shouts, only grasped by the throat to be pushed down once more, why do I put up with this pain, what is it even good for? Hiding my head in the ground, just to block out your screams, why are you treating me this way, tearing at me, ripping me at the seams, laughing at my complete misfortune, kicking me as I try to crawl away, once I held my head high with you, but those days are no longer today... Maybe I am a little different then you once knew, but does that make me less of a person then you? Can’t I dream of things that I know would never be? Why can’t you leave the way I live my life up to me? I’ve been on the run forever today, seeking for ones that know who I am, the ones who can hold me close, the ones who truly will give a damn, understand what I have to say, for these words I speak crystal clear, at one time the world was ours, but that time is up, and I do not fear... Tomorrow is another day without you, maybe then I can find the true me, without you constantly holding me down, my dreams shall now become a reality... Or maybe I’ll just fall again...Birth sign: Aries
