I lost the pride I had
In the fact that I was human
The cruelest animal of all
Murderer, rapist, liar
Too damn "human" to be "humane"
And my pride was gone
One day I lost my talent
I could no longer write
No art, no music
No anything that once
I held so dear to me
And I felt so hollow
I could not express myself
I was a husk of a being
Not anything noticeable
Yet still completely
Totally human
Despair filled me then
Another time I lost my body
Not so much literally
But lost it still
I was raped, cut, bled
Left to die
But die I did not
Mercilessly, life clung to me
In a vice unbreakable
My wounds oozed blood
And it was the blood of pain
For I was in pain and not dying
I cried in unspeakable horror
Soon after that, I lost my will
My will to breathe, to eat, to sleep
I lost my will to be
I didn't want to live
I wanted to die
But I couldn't leave them behind
What would people think?
I could never hurt them that way
And so I bear the pain
I bear the pain of life
And I hate every second
But I do it willingly nonetheless
My soul was soon to follow
If indeed I had a soul
And with my soul went my God
A God who left me
Betrayed me by letting me suffer
And yet I wanted to believe
With my God went everything
I could no longer trust
I no longer cared at all
The world was not my place
Yet there was no heaven for me
And with no heaven, no hell
So I had lost it all
My everything was forever gone
Nothing to keep me going
But still there was something
Something yet remained
And it would be destroyed
Yes, the Dream Crasher had come
All I had left for me
Were my dreams
Beautiful, peaceful dreams
Dreams of love
And of pleasures not mine
He reached out his hand
Eager to take from me
My last remaining strand
And I fought him!
With all my power
I fought him down
I had lost it all
And still I struggled
He was tough, but I won
"Never, Dream Crasher!"
I cried in victory
"My dreams are all I need!"
