Rend

The pain will last
For years on end
Why continue?
With no strength to lend

We speak of hope
We speak of joy
Where is mine?
Is it all a ploy?

My happiness
It's fleeting
My heart
Keeps on beating

I'm a prisoner
With no bars
I'm locked inside
I see no stars

My skin is my cell
Emotions, my chain
Despair, my companion
In sun and in rain

My vision is spotted
My intentions are flawed
But just to be happy?
To not feel outlawed

The pain is still with me
It will never end
So for now to myself
I must say, "Rend"
