The heart so heavy and mind so numb

the war inside and the silence around

agony and anguish filling me up

hanging by patience and the faith inbound

over and over...again and again...

the same thought being churned but all in vain

neither to loose and neither to gain

but the battles are fought and fear sets in

the hopes I lived by seem all so false

digging out the scars, buried so deep

struggling with my feelings, my heart so sore

after all that I have stood

confessions and sorrows is what I get all the more...
