In the darkness of my mind I search for a light I cannot find Empty thoughts weigh me down I'm drowning in silence can't make a sound
Fading shadows swallow me whole Lost in this world taking its toll A scream for help that no one hears Fighting a battle against my deepest fears
Memories haunt me Lingering pain that wont let me be Every mirror reflects a broken soul I'm trapped in a nightmare a sinking stone
I reach for a lifeline but people betray I'm suffocating from the words I can't say The weight of the world crushing my chest Why can't my parents see I'm doing my best
As the darkness closes in I seek refuge within I'll take one last breath and let go Scars from my past finally show

The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.
