Facing Giants

Have you ever had a moment in your life where the enemy you're facing comes from the most unlikely source?

Here I stand underneath their feet
How did I ever get stuck in water this deep?
All I want to do is shrivel up and die
And have my essence casted up to the sky
Can you truly blame me for the emotions I feel?
I'm simply a vessel awaiting my fate
I simply do not know what to do against their might
And I don't think I'm prepared for this fight

If you want me to be honest
I fear them
I fear what they can do to me.
I fear that my life can be extinguished from existence and be a stain on the concert.
A stain forgotten and washed away by the rain
No earthly good could ever come from this pain

These Faceless individuals desire to trample me underneath their feet
I ask once again how did I ever get stuck in water this deep?

Many who see me think I'm simply wasting away
They can see my physical decay
My silent tears echoing hoping to reach the ears of a savior
How can I possibly keep these horrible monsters at bay?
And end the suffering they've caused night and day

I am the main target they're directed at me
I'm not paranoid if you look closely you will see
Their hands gripping around my body to keep me in bondage
Their rough hands tearing into my flesh.

Do not try to understand them for they are creatures without souls
These giants are complex beings that feel no pity or remorse.
They do not discriminate on whose lives they can tarnish
And laugh and mock as you're consumed by their darkness.

I fall on my knees and gaze to the sky
Only mouthed the words asking the question why?
Why must I be the Catalyst of such despair?

Once I received my answer I was consumed by shock
Realizing I was the one that held the key to this lock
A lock that held me in bondage for so long
What have I done that was so wrong?
How could I be the one for things to be
Then I sat back and paused..and I realized that giant I was facing was me
