Over Time

Is it numb or is it sore, The pain in my arm I wore, Was it days, weeks, or years? Clawing its way out of fears?

Here it is constricting still, Of this life I've had my fill, Here comes the numb followed by pain, How I wish I could be numb again

The feeling is tight deep inside my chest, Never enough time or a place to rest, I focus desperately on the light, I have to do what I know is right.

That still doesn't change the thinking, Lost in a sensation like sinking, I shake my head and scream out "No!" I know the path on which I go.

I'll force myself to trudge further on, My shoulders which I place my burden on, Will have to maintain for just a little longer, Hopefully it will make me stronger.

Strong enough to always stand true, Strong enough to stand with you, Against the evil and against the dark On our souls it will be a mark, About what has been and what will be, Over enough time I know we'll see.
