It's when the tension is worst

That I feel like running

I hear the strife well-versed

Cutting words, so cunning

My lonely days are empty

Ridden with broken dreams

I try not to be angry

But within are blasphemes.

I need to escape this world

But there's no where to hide

When into shadow I'm hurled

I must retreat inside...

Is my life a fault?

Why does it have to halt?

I try to exalt,

But I'm locked in this vault.

I see the beauty around

And sometimes I can sing

But the melody is drowned

The song will start to sting.

Right now I quietly weep

The tears fall on this page

I wish I could just sleep

But fear I can't assuage.

I'm waiting for things to change

I don't know what to do

This world is utterly strange

I must find a way through...

When will he find me?

Will he perceive my plea?

I will remain free

This I can guarantee.
