I know somebody's there

The path of least resistance.

That's what it's called.

The way to an easy hell

Walking the road

Staring behind

I know I just need to

Make up my mind.

Fear chokes me

Fear binds me

I struggle feebly

Not having the strength

to break free

To my knee's I fall

to the sky I weep

"Please free me from

what's inside of me."

I don't know when

I don't know how

But it grabbed hold

inside of me

It was small

only so small

But I left it unchecked

a seed grows with care

a weed grows despite it

chocking out my light

dragging me down to the ground,

I give way

only to pray

to fight with all i have left

"help me, I can't do it on my own

I need more than I have.

I will try to lift this burden alone

but i fear i shall fail, inside."

I cry and pray

and pray and cry

my body begins to despair

but I try again, and again, and again

I know somebody is there

for as long as I can

I kneel in that spot

wetting the ground around me

I feel the darkness creeping in

pushing at my small defenses

I know this is it

this is the end

unless I get some help

with a new burst of pray

I cry desperately

"please, please answer."

It will happen

I know it will

so I sit and listen and ponder

to my feelings from which

I try to hide,

to find which one is the bother.
