Lying beneath a shadow of doubt,
Always wondering why it had to be me, what it was all about..
As he pulled me closer, I softly moaned..
Closing my eyes, "It's going to get worse" to myelf I groaned.
Trembling in fear, I let out a yelp,
He shoved me down, with me, also my hopes for help.
Trying to stay strong, I levelled his gaze,
Each time I did, it only setting my soul ablaze.
Wailing, weeping, to no avail, seems like ages since it unfurled,
Now hurt, abused, doomed, I remember when I was once prepared to take on the World.
It's all but agonizing reality, and i'm sinking blow by blow,
The pain burns and I can feel myself disappearing to a new low.
Looks like he's done for the day, The ground feels cold as i'm lying down bare,
Not a single soul in sight and i'm having a tough time convincing myself there's not a care.
Putting all my resolve together, trying to face it all, despite my plight,
I realize i'm struggling to put on a fight.
Suddenly it's like a rush, everyone wants to see me in despair,
But i've given up, and I don't wanna get through this, it's too much to bear.
Then it occurs, something I wish I had seen in anticipation,
Holding hands, Lighting candles, together comes the Nation.
The suffering was reducing, I'd found a reason to live for,
As they say it's never too late,
Once on the verge of giving up, I now know it's not destiny, but we who make our own fate.
