Patience

As the silent hours pass,
My mind begins to crack like glass,
And the light that's on the inside,
Starts bleeding through my broken pride

The demons on the other side,
Been years, yet they've not died,
With their heavy fists, they beat the wall,
But I will make sure it does not fall

I hold it up, I try to stand tall,
And not let myself be in thrall,
To the voices, of which there is no end,
Of the demons, that do rip and rend

To the cracks in the glass, I must tend
Even if my bones break and my body bends,
I must remind myself of my final goal,
That I cannot let them take my soul

The one that slowly, this world stole,
It's time I tried to make it whole,
To be true to what makes me free,
Gives me power to be the best version of me

Yet it is difficult to hide, to not let them see,
The cracks in people as broken as we,
But I do this is for them, for whom I care,
For those who love me, for they are rare

Now that I'm spent, I lay myself bare,
The demons fall silent, they do not dare,
For I have held the wall for so long,
I have proven to them that I am strong

Being fully aware of all I have done wrong,
I try to fix them now by writing this song,
These wounds I have gathered, will heal with time,
Whilst I deal with this arduous life that is mine

To wait patiently, as tough as a vertical mountain climb,
To respond and not react, it is a fine line,
The infinite interlude to happiness, it is my life's bane
And unfortunately, there's no end to the pain.
