Courage comes in all sizes, but fits only a few.<br /> What is wise is not always right and what is right is not always wise.<br /> Knowing what is wrong and right is not choosing which to fight.<br /> -All of these are by me


*voice 1*
I feel like I’m losing myself
Memories are wrapped in tears
Happiness is stuffed on a dusty shelf
My feelings are no longer here

*voice 2*
I am now an empty shell
I have no use anymore
But to mourn
For the things I long for

*voices trade each line*
I’m finally broken
My heart can’t fight now
I’m left croaking
Grasping for a breath
*voices join*
And could my time be up
Have I reached that point?
Where no matter what
I will never heal again

*voice 1*
And I don’t care anymore
Everything seems artificial
Hello, are you there
Or am I alone forever?


*voice 2*
I’m fighting for love
I’m fighting for life
I’d hate to be lonely
For the rest of my life

*voices trade each line”
So, will I make it through this?
Do I have the strength to do this?
Or am I a warrior for nothing
My battle scars mean nothing

I’m finally broken
My heart can’t fight now
I’m left croaking
Grasping for a breath
*voices join*
And could my time be up
Have I reached that point?
Where no matter what
I will never heal again

I’m finally broken
(broken)
My heart can’t fight now
(Can’t fight now)
I’m left croaking
(Left croaking)
Grasping for a breath
(for a breath)
*voices join*
And could my time be up
Have I reached that point?
Where no matter what
I will never heal again

And I don’t care anymore
Everything seems artificial
Hello, are you there
Or am I alone forever?

*Voices switch at each line*
I’m fighting for love
I’m fighting for life
I’d hate to be lonely
For the rest of my life

*Voices join again*
So, will I make it through this?
Do I have the strength to do this?
Or am I a warrior for nothing
My battle scars mean nothing

I feel like I’m losing myself
Memories are wrapped in tears
Happiness is stuffed on a dusty shelf
My feelings are no longer here

I am now an empty shell
I have no use anymore
But to mourn
For the things I long for
*fades out*

I've lost 5 family members this school year and its like my feelings are no longer existent. I feel numb and hollow. This is me trying to portray that feeling to the world. I hope you enjoy it.
