I can have this hope
That someday I will write to you
And for longer than a few moments
A few precious hours I will not suffer
That hope dies a little more
Every single day
Today is another day
That a piece of me has been stripped away
Left to burn in the flames
Again all I feel right now is pain
Nyx
You promised me the words
That I wanted to hear
Then you told me the truth
All the lies that you spoke
That I started to fall for
Pushed me right out that door
Nyx
She walked the world alone
Fighting through the images
Flashing through her mind
Always with a smile
Always so kind
Underneath it all
She feels herself rotting from within
She is not from this world
She was born in sin
Yet she exists
And she will keep fighting
She will win
Nyx
There is no path
Laid clear before me
I want my heart to race
I want to feel pride
I no longer want to worry
I no longer want to feel
What I want is reason
And everything that is real
I have seen so many illusions
Along the path I have chosen
I will not delude myself
I will not have faith again
I know that all I will ever need
Is me in the end
Nyx
Live and learn they say
Why do we have to learn
By being ripped apart
Where does the pain end
When does this learning start
I do not believe these words are true
Each piece that is pulled from me
Is another piece gone
I was always this strong
What I have learned is how not to fear
But this was after being beat down
Year after year
Losing everything
Again and again
Falling further and faster
With no where to land
Being pushed down
Until I could not stand
Having my head pushed under
Until I was swallowing water
This has made me fearless
A monster you see
Do you think I would be someone else
If this did not happen to me
No I would still be me
Nyx
There are some things
I will never understand
A love I will never see
This was never meant for me
The type of love bonded through blood
This is forever lost
I fill the void in other ways
Sometimes it has a cost
I can fill my mind with wishes
Dreams and hopes of love
I can hope that I am guided
By love shining down from up above
But at the end of the day the truth is
There is no one left but me
Maybe my hardened heart
Will someday set me free
Maybe this is the only way
That I was meant to be
Nyx
No one knows
How the story goes
In the end
Your life is your own
If you keep on fighting
You will see
That happiness is there
In all the people that care
In those who stay beside you
When the world falls away
Those who stand with you
When you need them most
This is where happiness is
Nyx
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. Marcel Proust
There are moments when I lose hope in everyone
Then I realize that I do not need them
The only thing I need
Is to believe in me
Nyx
I have been brought into moments of complete despair
But this is how I find my strength
This is how I find hope
I have embarked on a journey
Each stride a lesson to be learned
Each breath drawn is another that I live
Each day I am given a gift
Something that is taught to me
Something that I can give
My purpose is to educate
Those who are unaware
Of everyone in need of love
Of everyone in need of care
Someday I will fulfill this purpose
This I know is true
Because I am still standing here
Writing these lines to you
Nyx
