No escape

By Bloodofdeadpoets

I am terrorized by things that arise from my past
My new found dreams are slipping slowly from my grasp
All that i have made happy will burn down to dust
and all that i have made shine while dulling will rust
Yes i am now stronger but still weaker in a sense
Even though i have strength the beatings commence
I am stronger than most but still no match for you
Which i cant understand because ive been through it all to
But yet my body shivers from one glance from your eyes
And as you tear my flesh i release boundless cries
But i thought i left you behind me part of a broken past
But yet you are still here taking dreams out of my grasp
