Poison fills my heart as I sit in the dark/
Poison fills my soul as I breathe in the cold/
Bringing the demise of others for one's interest/
My heart aches to sing of a time I may finish/
The longer I starve the hunger overcomes me/
Consumed by greed I cannot see clearly/
The focus once so vivid begins to cave/
The dreams once held so close no longer stay/
Everyday my heart dims more inside this place/
Everyday it gets harder to look at the mirror's face/
But I will try/
Try for the ones I love/
Try for the memories of tears and hugs/
Try because they assumed how I would live/
Try for those who had fallen with everything to give/
I will try with all my might to reach greater heights/
I will try hoping to be able to sleep at night/
I will try... I will try and I may fail/
But, to fail would be better then to have never tried/
So, you may judge me if I succeed/
But, judge me not if I fail to achieve/
