Haunted by my own soul, I scream,
Screaming so loud that they can't hear me.

Terrified by my own breaths, I gasp,
Gasping so hard that my heart skips a beat.

Battling my own rage, I've lost,
The rage is victorious, the world is victorious.

Broken, I try to gather up my pebbled self,
Sigh, got scattered yet again.

I am just a scab on the surface of this world.
I am the lamp of the dawn at its burn.

I am the brightness that faded away.
I am the darkness that sparkled away.

I strived to rise but every rise has a fall,
I quit, I quit and that's all.
