Everyone leans on me, knowing that I will take their pain if it kills me. Knowing I won't really care if it does. I'm the world's savior; I heal and soothe the hurts away, brushing off tears and taking the infections into my war-torn body. I fade away day by day, and yet none notice because I am so strong in their eyes. I am the pillar of strength that everyone relies on; the one that no one ever thinks will fall.

One day I'll wake up from this nightmare
And know that it can't be true
I'll wake up and the sun will shine upon me
And I'll know the feeling of happiness again
Poetry in motion, the pleasure of life
Touching my sweet skin like sea water
Lapping over sunburned flesh
I close my eyes and I'm dreaming of you
What else can I do?
I can't live my life without you
But remember... you close your eyes
And you're dreaming too
Life is cruel
Cruel in the nightmares that take away my dreams
Taking away the hope and desires
Fading into dead thorns
I hate the life that stares in my face every day
Echoing torn shreds in the mirror
A shell of what I was
But tomorrow is another day
Full of pain and full of life
Hatred and torment
Renewal and rebirth
A choice to be made
Always remembrance but furthering my path
Walking until I fall to my knees
Bloody flesh torn and broken
Unable to walk a step further
And memories of you carry me to the cooling waters
Until I can walk again
I will remember
I will walk on
And one day, the memories will carry me farther
Away from the pain
And I will wake up from the nightmares
And this time, I won't be screaming
