Hero Poem by Kate Brossman

The darkness is closing in,
and I'm slowly beginning to slip.
I'm stuck in a dreamy state,
And I can't seem to get a grip.
I keep drinking lies,
And breathing in doubt.
My diamonds of sorrow,
Are slowly bleeding out.
I can't see through,
These jaded lines.
Slowly, I'm fading,
And soon there will be nothing left to find.

So I carve and carve through,
My forsaken dreams.
Fighting my self,
Because nothing is as it seems.
I'm lost in a land of hate,
And I can never get away.
I need a hero,
someone save me!

I'm barely awake,
And I want to leave.
I can hear you calling.
But I can barely breathe.
Its getting harder to stay alive,
Harder to stay the same.
But with every moment of dreaming,
I'm slowly going insane.
I can't see through,
These jaded lines.
Slowly, I'm falling,
I'm running out of time.

So I carve and carve through,
My forsaken dreams.
Fighting my self,
Because nothing is as it seems.
I'm lost in a land of hate,
And I can never get away.
I need a hero,
Someone save me!

There is a light at the end of a road,
But I can't move.
I'm blinded by the pain,
Of the fact that I always lose.
I struggle to stay awake,
as you finally find me here.
But I'm the only one to blame,
Cause I'm everything you have ever feared.
I can't see through,
These jaded lines.
Slowly, I'm dying,
And there's nothing left to find.

So I carve and carve through,
My forsaken dreams.
Fighting my self,
Because nothing is as it seems.
I'm lost in a land of hate,
And I can never get away.
I need a hero,
Someone save me!

So I carve and carve through,
My forsaken dreams.
Fighting my self,
Because nothing is as it seems.
I'm lost in a land of hate,
And I can never get away.
I need a hero,
Someone save me!

someone...
Save me.
