Bitterness and regret those are what I feel,
When the whole world demands that I kneel,
Beg for forgivness and the wrongs are not mine,
Yet I am told so, time after time,
I will never embrace the lies I am told,
Day after day it continues and I feel so old
Yet I know I am as a diamond in the rough,
whose destiny it is to shine,
Happiness I wonder, will it ever be mine?
I struggle on through worry and confusion,
peace and happiness it seems is just an illusion,
Fixed in place, and placed in a category,
Labeled and judged yet they don't know my story
Willing to battle through grudges and regrets,
Yet memories that plage me I cannot forget,
In the dark hours of the night, they come to haunt me still,
Nightmares that won't let me rest and seem to kill,
Every ounce of strength that I once had
Will I ever get it back?
Perhaps there is no reprieve,
Yet, there is a part of me that still believes,
That voice of light inside me guides
my way through the malice and deceit,
Truth is the only remaining thing to find
In a world of illusion,
But can you see it or are you blind?
