This burden lies heavy
Upon my soul
Of emotions hidden
Of truths untold

A tight fist closes
Around my heart
And tears, unbidden
Threaten to start

Memories whisper, faint, unclear
From the corners of my mind
A prevailing sadness hovers near
Its origin undefined

I know only unhappiness
And a lack of self-control
Yet I feel an urge I can't express
To heal and become whole

Or am I destined to this hell
Of earthly bounds defined
Until that day my freedom comes
And my spirit-shadow shines?

I hear a dozen voices
And I listen to their song
And dream that some day I will sing
As I struggle to go on

I wage this battle with myself
My hatred wields a heavy blow
I wonder how I still go on
For in my heart, I do not know

And as the evening slows to end
And darkness is no more
Another day I'll try to spend
Attempting to restore

I am indifferent to the day
For in my heart is darkness still
So far it hasn't gone away
I wonder if it ever will
