Can I not change what I am destined to be?
Can I not see what others cannot?
Visions fill my mind,
Crowding, pushing, shoving-
Clawing for freedom.

My thoughts are painful,
Unrealistic and fleeting
But they are something I
May claim for a short time,
Which is more than I can say
For anything else.
I cannot claim anothers heart
When mine is not free to give;
I waste my life pining for something
Unatainable-
Something lost long ago.

A shadow wraps me in its embrace,
The darkness takes me in
Showing me the ugly truth.
The pain that claws and shreds
With bared claws and fangs;
Rubs my nose in my mistakes and
Tears at my heart and mind with
Unrelenting cruelness...
