Battle Screams

 

The battle carries on, who to turn to

So many voices and hands that reach, but they can’t do a thing

And I was never one for running too

Always had to take a stand and face what’s in front of me

 

Not saying it’s hard, but it’s not easy

Falling apart and the world doesn’t see me

Hanging on a string that has dangled here for quite some time

Running thin

 

I rarely travel back in my memories

It makes me remember the better days

Days when you could be all who you could be

It took no time for your health to fade away

 

Not saying God doesn’t know what he’s doing

But I can’t help but wonder why when it comes to you

And I feel so broken, because there’s nothing I can do

But watch you lay here, and you stay here

 

You’re my home, my very light

Even when you’re not lit yourself

And the days keep passing by

And you’re stuck in bed, can’t figure this out

This is my story, not what you see

Sometimes I cry and just scream

I’m all dried out and in the dark I hear the agony

Of what you were fighting for
