Bury Me (08/06)

Here I am,
again,
turmoil and unrest,
wrack my brain,

Day by day,
I'm shot down,
day by day,
I'm torn,

Will it ever stop?
how much longer,
must I fight,
must I try,

I dream,
I hope,
impossible dreams,
impractical hopes,

I see no end,
every minute,
every second,
shattered,

Yet everytime,
this ragged mind,
imperfect soul,
dares to dream,

Leave me,
I am beaten,
I surrender,
admit defeat,

Release me,
doomed optimism,
scars of reality,
bury me.
