Rise and fall


It's like there's darkness in my eyes The fear and pain covers me like a black dye I don't want to be lost But my heart is missing in frost It is weird and quiet strange That i speak in such strain My spirit moves like a train Town by town, in and out I wonder in such doubt My heart, soul and spirit Clashes and crumbles like a biscuit So l wake from my sleep The pattern and rhythm Reminds me of the deep When everyone looked down on me From a mountain's peek Oh, how I tried to speak-out The uncontrollable wave of sorrowful words Struck all around like the ones from the lords I had to be tough Wrote inspirational words To remind myself I was the diamond in the rough I kept on fighting Kept on pushing Knowing one day I'll be the one flying Told myself i was powerful beyond measure My fighting spirit pierced through like a dagger.
