My Struggle and My Strength

Normality was all I ever wanted I was born different, branded by my DNA Thought I was somehow tainted I was lost looking for a sort of heaven's gateway As a kid my life was quite though I was hunted and consumed by egos' for their bloodlust Hope was scarce, barely enough I was left apathetic, with my confidence turned to dust Looking to escape, I found death I was promised peace and quiet, an endless slumber The feeling of bliss on my breath I was falling apart, cracking, spiraling, going asunder Broken, surrounded, outnumbered I was down on my knees forced by the world into submission A final rest whilst over encumbered I was standing at the gateway of hell making a final decision Still breathing but, with my spirit dead I am now Atlas holding up my world made of glass Fragile, beaten and filled with dread I am still trying to patch up the wounds left by brass Burned by the fire, cut by the knives I will keep on fighting for my life, since it is my right Remembering the pain helps me thrive I will have defeated my demons and killed this blight I only have one thing left say my dearest decease. I blamed you for all my suffering but, it was not fair and I forgive you for the pain. Goodbye old friend may you find peace as I did.
