Ye though I walk
through the valley of fear
in the shadows of death
while Satan is near
He is telling me
compelling me
whispering in my ear
grab that light bulb
with your wet hands
set yourself free
take a deep breath
pull that trigger
be a martyr
for this hopeless humanity
he whispers coyly
jump in front of that car
no one will ever know
how depressed
how stressed
you really are
I walk into a room
people whisper and stare
I just know someone
other than me
is miserable
out there
anyone
ever been compromised
ostracized
criticized
crying teary eyes
and sighing longing sighs
Just turn around
and walk away
no one wants to see
your saddened face today
why would they stop to care
no one is concerned
If you think
prejudice isn't fair
you're right
You were born
and you
will always be
somebody's liability
I only make myself a liability
If I do not believe
If I do not see
The beauty in me
I have walked through
This valley of shadows
Long enough
Been drawn deeper into sorrow
By your haunted words
And draining critiques
No more!
No more will I let you reign
My soul was sleeping somewhere cold
I have awakened it now
It is still whole
Weak and worn
But with love of myself
It shall grow strong
And I will learn to
Ignore your invitations
Your mental simulations
That so often tempted me to
Slit my wrists
Tempted me to lie
And wait for that dark angel of death
I have grown out of temptation
I have grown out of hate
I will no longer contemplate
Or speculate
About the comfort of giving up
How can I be free
if I take my life?
How can I be free
if I turn my soul over to you?
I will no longer
Listen to there sneers
When I pass by
There misconceptions of me
Will no longer make me cry
Their low whispers in the corner
Will feed my fuel
To succeed
and be the best that I can
Get behind me Satan
I no longer wish to hold your hand!
I no longer need your amnesty
Today I walked in the sun
Today for the first time I saw the stars
Today I saw without you
How strong I really am
