Different

I'm a different soul
In a different light
I want to be known
But I'm not alright

I want to believe
I wish I could fight
Alone and afraid to live
The devil in the darkest night

I dream and I wish
I read and I write
I think and I pray
But no exit in sight

So instead I will speak
But never to be heard
A quiet silence deafening
The cries from a lonely little bird

The truth is I try
But the demon unstirred
A knight and his shadow
An author with no single word

My thoughts are overwhelming
The mirror is blurred
My mind is so broken
My life is absurd
