Guilt

I don't like to battle. I get up and travel. Suspense... Defense? I run and hide... I'm Always on a chase Never face to face I don't Confront Instead, I try To Convict you of the trial; I'm always in denial. You are The problem, It's not I... No. It's everybody else I'm running from myself, Even My shadow Mocks my pride It Reminds me of my past, Things that wouldn't last I used To fill Me up inside But, My shadow still prevails, It's always on my trail It Never leaves It stays behind Me Everywhere I go It follows and it holds on; It tells Me that I live a lie... It says, "All of your mistakes Will never be erased, They will Torment you 'til you die." Am I The hero or the villain? I have a gut feeling That People See through my facade This Has turned into a war, Worse than before I don't Know how I will survive If I take you to the grave I will be a slave To You, You'll haunt me all my life It's like, Every single day Memories replay My Thoughts Are eating me alive... Stop! I surrender, I give up. I have had enough; With you, No peace I'll ever find So, To feel sweet relief And get back on my feet I must Confess To free my mind Of guilt.
