Bittersweet Hope

As I walk down this empty road
Being accompanied only by my echoes
I gazed across the distant sky
that appeared as a hopeful horizon

The clouds turned into monsters
Growing so strong and angry 
It spreads fear into the heart of the sky
Turning it blacker than oil
It roars a violent hymn, terrorizing the very ground that I walk on

I try to escape this empire of despair
But the shadows press down upon my chest

Here comes the rain...

Baptizing me in sorrow
I feel the raindrops sink into my soul
Trying to drown me

But that's ok
Because I can see the light that no one can see
 
It tries to keep me in a catatonic state
It failed...
I'm still alive and going strong

The arctic wind that breaths on me
This air that bites my flesh
Can swallow me in frost
But could never freeze my heart

No matter how dark this road may go
The beautiful light will be my greatest reward

This Malicious Ghost attempts to erase my soul
But the more it hurts me...
The stronger I'll become

Because someday I will break these chains of anguish for good
And be free of this nightmare
Someday the light will come
Someday.....
