Survival


Come to me

See the shadows

They follow

Waiting for mistakes,

Volnerability 

 

It doesn't matter

I know you're trying 

It won't work

You can't run

Change yourself 

Transparent disguise 

 

They know 

They see

They feel

 

I won't let you go

I lost

I'll save you

You're not ready 

 

People can change 

Why would you want to?

Perfection's a myth

 

There is no God

He can't save you

He can't stop them,

But you can 

Save yourself,

Because you're worth it

 

I gave up

I'm broken,

Defeated,

Ashamed 

 

You still see the light 

Keep it 

Don't ever let it go 

If you do,

It won't come back 

 

You're not alone 

Keep going 

Keep fighting 

Survive the torment 

Endure the torture 

 

Feeding off weakness 

Striking a battered mind

Smothering the light,

That protects your soul
