Inner SoldierA Poem by Riley BrayMindless "warrior," trekking on even after you've failed.
I'm a goner now
That I've lost to my inner soldier No longer angel bound I'm standing 'round, watching ashes smolder. And In this world, this, wide, wide world, I'm feeling it burning away, And in this world, this, wide, wide world, All I can tell, is its getting colder, And In this world, in this wide, wide, wide, wide world, Demons are getting their way I'm a spirit now That my monsters have taken over My candle has gone out And down comes tears of rain meant to sober. And in this world, this wide, wide world, I'm feeling it burning away, And in this world, this wide, wide, world, All I can tell, is its getting colder, And in this world, this wide, wide, wide, wide world, Demons are getting their way So I'm running desperately, From this war taking my everything, Each footfall is nurturing my bleeding, And I'm hoping not to slip anymore. I'm vying for freedom, of anything at all As I push off from battle calls, And I'm wishing not to fall To sinful allure. And In this world, this wide, wide world, I'm feeling it burning away, And in this world, this wide, wide world, All I can tell, is its getting colder, And in this world, this wide, wide, wide, wide world, Demons are getting their way I'm just lost right now Fallen into my minds murky haze Absence is all around And I realized yesterday we're living fakes. And in this world, this endless world, I'm sensing this torturous black veil, And in this world this open world, All I see is antisociality And in this world, this endless, open world, All our inner soldiers fail.
