#YearEndEchoes

As the year had begun, so did my pain.

Everyday pain,
everyday struggles,

Wanted to give up,
but I was told I dare not.

Who's this voice in me that controls me?

It gives me the best advice when I need it, but then it turns into a beast when I want to let go.

Oh, how I wish I could continue to have that voice inside of me,

The voice left me,
Stranded in an unknown destination,
Unknown path,
Unknown route,

It left me saying "you have to be the one to fight for yourself, fight with yourself for yourself."

I was so confused at it's word.
But, now I seem to be getting what it's trying to tell me.

The year has come to an end,
That's why the voice left me,

it didn't want me to keep relying on it.

A new year, a new month, and a new me, is coming up,
I would fight for myself, my pains, my happiness.
I would fight for my loved ones, to keep being my loved ones.

An endless echoes of determination, the voice has left.
This voice has left me to fight my own battle myself and I'll do it.

Because I don't want to take my pain with me anymore.
