There Is No Fire

I hope this is hell we're in
I've drawn my blood
I've starved my body
My mind has burned to ash

Lifelong dreams come true
Only to fall from my grasp
No amount of work
Can bring me salvation

Hands forever out of reach
Words always falling short of my ears
Chest pains I ignore
Because what is physical pain to the damned

Emotionally tortured to such a point
I am no longer even the part human I was
Less person more wraith
Just waiting to move on

They say one person can change the world
How?  I can't even save myself
It must be predetermined who's a hero
Because I've always known I'm nothing

All effort and time wasted
Never lifted a finger to hurt another
Even my words carefully formed to not insult
This good heart has done for me nothing

Let this be hell
Because I can imagine no worse
Than falling down and getting up
All life long, I die every second

In a place where my mind is understood by none
Looked down upon and ignored
Alone in a war against odds unbeatable
I can't even be angry anymore

Fighting got me as far as love did
Dead and forgettable
How I prayed upon deaf ears
And begged in blood and tears

I will always be no one important
One in a trillion
Destined to fail
Getting older and knowing the truth
