Years
They've past me by like thorns
Digging deep and feeding sores
Sorrow behind closed doors
But that's not me anymore
In a fight for who I am
Can't convey what I understand
But now I stand tall
Can't compete with those who won't fall
It's been hard
All my life
Watching stars
Fade to dark
My god
Slaving nights
At a desk
Watching peers
Coalesce
My heart
Goes out
To the ones
Having fun
While I fight
This war
with myself
Aspirations of a future
Suffocation of approval
What a bore!
Success and achievement are my goals and my weakness
I'm tired
But that won't shake me from my ambitions!
Please know
No subscription to your feelings or opinions
Drive your own path
But don't impede upon my vision
It's falling through your eyes
This pain you can't disguise
Even though you try so hopelessly
Your truths will fade to lies
It's hunger I despise
I will never try hopelessly
My anguish is your pride
But I will not comply
Every time you try it's hopelessly
Ambitions always tried
You'll see it in my eyes
And you'll find you've tried so hopelessly
Pain has taken its fair course
Days filled with lost remorse
In passing shall it stay
For form of who I am today
Facades ablaze
Here for all to see
Unveiled, every part of me
The sea of my repressions shies
From all your lies
Entanglement of meaning I comprise
I shy from no one's eyes
