Martyr:It's Never Too Late

You don't have to believe me, but I know
All the different kinds of pain, and processes of sorrow
What it feels like not wanting to wake up to see another tomorrow

I had every attempt planned out
I slammed the tear-stained pen down
I screamed in my head it's either never or now

And I slowly walked out onto the road
Trying to not turn back, because there's no more hope
I left it behind mixed on the paper, the last goodbye letter that I wrote

-
Give me your hate / Hand me your pain

Toss me your blame / Force out your bane

-
I've broken all of my blood oaths
Stacked on top of all the unread notes
The words written down always dragged me into the undertow

I secretly despised my own existence, I'm nothing but a coward
Every second I spent alone I always backed myself into another corner
I want to leave nothing to be remembered by, I don't want my death to matter

All I can say is don't make the same mistakes I have, don't die on the inside
Because once it's done, there is no going back to your same old life
You don't want any part of it, you don't know what this is like

-
Give me your problems / Hand me your burdens

I will serve your sentence / I will accept your judgments

-
I have too many knives in my back, and each one goes deeper
I always had my trust, and my heart broken over and over
So I guess my memories and I will always be together

I remember those long, never ending nights staying awake
I recall all of those blinding days pretending to be sane
I continue to try and endure it all in this unstable state

I'm so sick of this life, because I know that I will never change
You don't have an idea of how much more agony that I am able to take
So please, just give me all of your suffering, and seal away my deserving fate

-
Shower me with your tears / I know what you're going through

There's nothing more to fear / It's too late for me, but it's never too late for YOU!
"Just keep moving forward. Get up and walk on your own legs."
~Edward Elric

I really loved this overall, the wording was easy to follow but still extremely impacting. it was so heart breaking and hopeful. I liked how it captured a lot of emotion without being over the top. I loved it! One piece of advice I have is to maybe change the third last line, I felt it was lacking... I think it didn't quite leave as powerful an impression as the previous lines. Overall very well done, I loved how it gave amazing insight and I felt I could really connect with it.

keep up the awesome work, this piece was fantastic!
