The time has come again like clockwork As swiftly the manifest arises, so too does it flee Preying upon constitution Free will to recognize the tyrant Blinding my need for self preservation Unknown to the wretched perpetrator A darkness plagues this once joyous heart Calloused by scores of constant anguish At the hand of the most revered No longer will confusion hold me Reaching for the strength to stand tall Knowing Im better off without Pretending youre even there Forging ahead with new found freedom Relinquishing burdens taking hold Seeing clear for the first time Breathing in new atmosphere Proving my need for self preservation Has conquered that which seeks To void the spirit within Now known to the wretched perpetrator The darkness plaguing this joyous heart Has given up every ghost of grandeur And will no longer live in fear You will not fail me anymore These walls Ive built will never fall Your sickness seeping through my pores Will turn to dust and be no more
