Written myself empty

I have written myself empty

Laid my soul bare

Searching for something

Yet nothing is there

Breath becomes shallow

No end in sight

This is what happens 

When you let down your guard

What happens when you stop the fight        

I hear voices 

So loud in my head

Repeating my faults over and over

You knew better they said

Never let your guard down

Never lay yourself bare

For when you let someone in 

When they see the real you 

You can't expect

Anyone to be there     

I am a warrior

There is no relief in sight

I will fight this war

Until I lose my light

I will lay my life down         

                My breath will be gone                     

No more searching

No more fighting

No more hiding

My battle will be done
