The Chains Inside of Me


Darkness Can't see forward, only what was left Hidden Buried beneath the surface Numbness Heart ripped out, thrown into darkness Blank No emotion except when my eyes rain Empty Nothing left inside of me Light Piercing through the fight Change Realizing I am not to blame Endurance Pressing forward with the assurance That I will conquer I will be freed From the chains inside of me I will succeed
