Slowly Breaking

Life, seems far too keen on making sure I never get better

This canopy of trees

Slowly envelops me

I'm waiting to be free

From this pain and misery

Waiting for the day

When the sun will touch my face

As I walk out of this cave

Of endless hurt and hate

I'm trying to let go

Of my past and what I've done

But it's so hard to know

When I've finally won

I think it's done and passed

Then one day when I'm all alone

The memories come back

Taking my heart off it's throne

I see all these images

Wanting to be rid of them

My mind breaks and fringes

It's so hard not to bend

So I wait in this darkness

Until I can be saved

But no one notices

I can't call out

My voice far too strained.
