The Voice of a Broken Soul
There's a pain in my chest.
It hurts so much, and I don't know what to do.
I saw it again.
The thing I dread the most.
And once again I felt powerless.
With this feeling came anger and then the sinking feeling of despair at my own uselessness.
Every night I tell myself, “I cannot fail”
Not because of the shame it might bring,
But because I really can't afford to.
These chains that bind me,
I hate them.
I really do.
But, I can't let go.
I can't afford to.
Not until I reach the place I desire
And achieve true freedom.
Because if I give up, I won't be able to protect them.
Therefore, I'll remain here in this dark place.
Letting my tears fall silently and away from sight.
While struggling to find the light.
