Clarity/Stephen

For so long
Was I blind to the world
So gone, lost
To the story unfurled

Lost in thoughts
Memories of old
Looking at this life
My story never told

A black little heart
A young, once innocent hand
A place I now use
To take a stand

No longer do I show pain
Oh you will never see
The horrid affet
This deathly life has on me

No, I will be strong
Life will not prevail
Never will I fall
Never will I fail

Hearts are made to be broken
Tears made to be cried
In love at least
I can say for you I tried

To not be this monster
Yet show you who I am
You took me and as soon as
I had to go, you ran

What did I expect?
You to stay?
Of course I shouldn't have
You left all the same

Now I'm left
A monster still
Yet screw the world
And all that will

Conform to its
Evil, desperate ways
And live with yourself
The rest of your days

I am myself
Monster and all
Here I stand
Proud and tall

My tears are cried
My fear is gone
Day by day
Life goes on
