They said you need to loose yourself to find yourself,
I did not believe it to be so.

Little did I know that this world will teach me something I never knew there was to learn.

I have lost the ability to dream,
All I wish for now is to escape.

I want to fade away into the darkness,
Fade away from everyone’s memory.

I don’t want to be the reason for their pain,
Today I feel the burden of their love.

I feel too tired to go on,
I know I should not give up.
If I do, I escape the pain but add more pain to them.

I need to breathe again, I need to care again,
Little by little I need to build myself again.

Not to prove that I am better to them,
But to prove that I am better for myself.

I deserve to dream. I deserve to hope.
It was done to me, so I won’t break others to build myself.
I am going to find room for myself,
To make a life worth living.

The day I finally get rest, my life would have been one worth living.
I am going to try my hardest to make it so.

So come at me world, with all your worst,
I will break down but not give up.

Today I failed, but I will try again tomorrow.
The odds may not be in my favor, but I am bound to win at some point.

So I will keep trying, in the hope I can look back and say “I made it”.
