Struggle No More

Thorny bushes shredded these roses
My opened heart enrages and soon closes

Black thread stitches it into one piece
Chains drag me down, making me fall on my knees
Day by day I try to rise higher than before
Only to find my beloved ones breathe no more
Suffocating in the smoke, I now fear
Here I am enshrouded by a murky atmosphere

I shiver severely in this night so cold
The spark that shone is what I no longer hold
Internally bleeding from terrifying noises
Blocking them out might invite more harsh voices
In my weak presence, mindless shadows dance
Controlling my subconscious with every dark glance

Just like glass, my delicate soul shatters
Every tear that I had shed in the past doesn't matter
Uneasily waiting in this deep despair
There's no reason for my mind to fully prepare
Though I may not be thinking so straight,
Deeply buried inside me is what I start to hate

I pull the trigger and burst into screams
Shutting my eyes to never see the blinding beams
