"I Am"


I am a lost soul begging for forgiveness

I am the darkness that resides within

I am a sinner Hell-bent on destruction

I am a heart blackened by the toils of life

 

I am the voices in my head testing my sanity

I am the scars on my flesh that refuse to heal

I am a hollow shell searching for something to fill the void inside

I am the chaos in my mind threatening to consume me

 

I am the hatred flowing through my veins

I am the demons lurking in the shadows

I am the memories of a life filled with pain

 

I am an eagle soaring high above the clouds

I am the strength of a thousand men

I am the light at the end of the tunnel

I am the one you thought wouldn't survive
