Standing In The Fire

Its ever burning climbing further into my spirit

to the point where my pain isn't felt but drowned

muffled by the rage within

forcing me to be less of the man that I am

I'm standing on the threshold teetering in agony

my spiritual pain is now physical

my sight is bloodshot as though im morphing into despair

and no matter how hard I try cant release myself from its grip

How can one person change you

Is it the disdain you know is in your presence

Is it the two faced coin persona that burns me to the core

or is it the rightful wrong that hurts even more

Ill try to keep my peace as much as I can

but the wall is breaking cracked by impatience

ready to spew and rear the ugly head of the monster

Give me strength to keep it at bay

Hold me close so that I may find my way

keep me closer to the light that I may extinguish this pain

Mend my spirit that the title wave does not bring me down

for if I embrace this darkness the old me will not be found
