I open my eyes,
Tears running down my face,
Just a dragged out, losing race,
Pace after pace,
I pant, gasping for air,
My demons screaming,
Knocking me down,
The tears wont stop,
My head pounding now,
It was never good enough,
Beating myself down,
Pulling myself back up,
My demons frustrated, there words weren't enough,
I wont give in,
I'll put up a fight,
Like a spark just waiting to relight,
Not even the demons could block out the light,
I strike, running for my life,
Free to decide,
Anyone can overthrow the devil inside,
Silenced, angered,
They back away,
Not knowing what to do,
Not knowing what to say,
Smiling sheepishly,
The plan unfolds my way,
I run,
Stepping over the final line,
Running, running, running away,
The demons closing in,
It's my time to pay..
But at least now I know I can say,
the demons were too strong,
they weaved there way,
Knowing I live another day,
I play the record,
Letting it drift away,
The colours all gone,
All but grey,
Not knowing what they see in me,
Or what there going to say,
Knowing that they care for me,
Knowing today's the day.
The day of survival,
The day of all days,
The day we make amends,
The day we all pay..
