Jaded
I lifted my head and let the tears fall
Fortitude settled as I started to build my wall
I grasped my fingers to hide my frailty
I held to my heart as I loosen my grip on reality
Its been so long since I felt this weak
I realized my patience had reached its peak
There's no way I could reverse this attitude
I'm slowly finding peace in solitude
I am strong but I am mortal
I feel my soul falling in an endless portal
I see my integrity fall so low
I see comfort in letting go
Feelings know no bounds
In a state of defeat my essence was found
Strength measured through my valiance
Hurt echoing in my silence
Life in these eyes that used to be enchanting
With each bitter reality, it became daunting
To close my eyes optimism I beget
Never crossing my mind the action I will later regret
Poor and tortured to this I am chained
This being desolation finally claimed
To the shadow of my former self, I cried
Please let me rest for at this moment I am tired
I close my eyes to what I see
Entrapped within its confines, my spirit just wants to be free
Unable to feel, season after season
I am trapped within the this emotionless prison
Let me rest for I am beat
Even a hero cannot achieve this feat
I promise as soon as there no more tears left to cry
I surely would spread this gifted wings and fly
