Just when I thought all hope was gone
To put my soul and mind into a perspective setting
To feel free of this world as I become alone and focused
The feelings that haunt me and lay before me arises from the night and ease its evil spirit upon my heart
Pressing and rising more and more
Hot tears stain my vacant face
Lost for words as the Devil strikes it’s best shot
“Never going back to that place” I murmured to myself
I prayed that new beginnings will change hearts
That dreams will come true and positivity will seep into my heart
I visited the dark place again and it doesn’t feel pleasant
To become hostile in the midnight hour not knowing when these spells will end
I once hid into the dark valley for years
Never knowing when I would come out of the woods
Feeling lonely under the stars as my tears becomes my best friend
Unspoken words of innocence swallows my pride and fear creeps into my mind
I can’t do this anymore
But sometimes sweet revenge feel great
Having that upper strength and power to prove a saddened point
The tongue of deadly thoughts that pours venom of hostility and unforgiving hearts
Years has passed and the dark place that I once knew
Once again in
Visited me for a short spell
Not crazy to the world or to innocent people not knowing my true Hiding within myselfย my most deepest pain and depression among the stars
That they will sleep silently next to my shadows that still follows my every footstep
My cries becomes unknown
Even if I cried louder, no one would hear me
The lost soul that’s misrepresented
Misunderstood
No one understands
No one but God himself!
Who are you to judge?
Who is the world to judge a child that has seem to lost its way and all they want is to be free?
Be free of the hatred
Be free from the evil spirits that still rests upon her soul
Let her be free
I hide my worries upon the smiles of daylight,
To hide my beauty beneath the wings of my burdens
Hidden in the dark ready to attack like wild dogs
My words on a leash that hurts
Kills souls
I’m not that girl
I am unique
I’m not who they say I am
I’m not that girl
I remain happy within the love of what I do
To pen and to start again
Fresh again like a brand new day
Wondering if the dark clouds of Hades will stay away
I pray for forgiveness
To end this
And then no more will my flesh be hidden in the dark
