Array ( [sid] => 65896 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Prisoner of Darkness [time] => 2004-10-02 14:40:26 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Why I am I here?
What is my purpose of being here?
I ask these questions over and over in my head
But I still can't find the answers
I search and search, over and over
Trying to remember, but I can’t
I guess I’ll remain as an empty shell lost in eternality
I continue to fall, never to be able to be put back together
I try to sow myself up with needles, but it never works
All I wanted was to be happy
But instead I’m bound to the chains around my body
I try to spread my wings and fly away, but the chains hold me back
I denied my true feelings and build a wall between others and me
I don't want to hurt you, that’s why I stay away
There will always be a wall between us no matter what
I try to protect you from my pain
I push you away and lie to you
But you keep coming back
As you come closer the pain spreads all around
I try to run away, but no matter what it keeps following me
All the guilt, all the suffering
It creeps up behind me
I hear the pain in the hearts around me
As I walk, I hear the voices
Weeping and moaning of their pain
As you come closer you see my pain
I lie to you but you don’t believe me
I see the light from you and I reach out my hand and you reach out yours
I smile and go towards it, hoping you would pull me towards the light
But the darkness pulls me away
I try run to you, but I was too late
You were gone and left me in the darkness
A child walks up to me and gives me a flower
I smile faintly as I remember I use to be happy as him
I’m only an empty shell surrounded by darkness
Tears of blood comes down my face
I am a prisoner of darkness
