I can not tell my story,
For all I'll get is "I'm sorry."
Sympathy won't be my saviour,
Why can't they just understand?
I have questions, a quest to find,
A restless heart, a wandering mind.
At times, I feel like giving in,
Yet I shall find my peace within.
My thoughts betray, they pull me down,
Drowning me where hope is found.
I wish to shine like diamond's glow,
Yet demons dim the light I know.
I feel like a bear so lone,
I'm haunted by the ghosts I've known.
They dress me bright like ripened pear,
Yet inside, I am hollow air.
My soul cries out—release, be gone!
Once carefree, now I dwell upon
The battles waged within my chest,
The weight that will not let me rest.
I never feared these demons near
Rose with the sun, my heart sincere.
Yet now I see, I must endure,
For darkness knocks upon my door.
A mystery quest, a tangled thread,
A thousand thoughts within my head.
Which question first shall find its voice,
And lead me toward my fated choice?
