Never

You never know,
Where you went wrong,
When all is said and done.

The treachery
Of knowing where you stand
And what you die for,
Is nothing less than painful.

My life has been
A mockery of everything
I've dared to dream of being.

Never be the same,
Once you dare to dream,
Never be the same,
With your heart ripped from the seam,
Never be the same.

You never think,
That you will fail,
Until they're laughing in your face.

The things you lose,
Never seem significant,
Until they're gone,
And there's nothing you can do.

I fought at every turn,
My blood spilled,
My lesson learned,
And still I get nowhere,
And it drive me insane,
What do I get from a life of pain?

Never be the same,
Once you dare to dream,
Never be the same,
Never be….

You'll never feel the same again
Once the veil is lifted.

The revelations
The passing time will bring
Are more a curse
Than any of your own self-loathing.

I've battled with my inner demons,
Defiled my sense of truth and reason,
Just to get where I am,
Which is nothing in the end,
Where I bend, where I'm broken.
In the end.

Never be the same…
