The Deceiver Within

I am nothing more

than a ghost in your eyes

And when I spoke of potential

Those were the last words

I wish I could stop from choking

And for once let the truth show

I have counted the days

While you counted all my faults

I want to let my honesty

set me free from these shackles

I've watched my leaders

go from allies to enemies

from the point of loyality

to the point of breaking

I'll never understand why

I'll never understand how

Keep up your front

but all the while you shake me to splinters

hours stolen from me

I now see the deceiver within

so now I keep my head through a heavy heart

as of right now this place is a graveyard

I'll pass through the misery

I'll keep on despite the stares from the vultures

I will out rip the claws from my own back

if this is what I have to do, so be it

In the end, it's all about standing up for myself

Separate me in the form of flying

setting myself aside

making promises that will remain

my foundation for hereafter

what lies in front of me

will tell me of my fate

the hour is nearing

I can't deny my heart

I won't fail today

The endless moments

of what will become of me

I've known it would all come down

to this moment right here

But will it take a lifetime to find out if my choice is right

I will not turn back, there will be no regret
