I live with it inside me
The hurt, the pain
I live with these emotions
Making me go insane

I deal with what I’m given
These thoughts that destroy
I deal with how I’m livin’
The missiles I deploy

I fight with my demons
That live inside me
I fight with myself
Because I truly can not see

I hurt with every footfall
Along this path I tread
I hurt with every day that passes
Until inside I feel dead.

My Shining Knight
You hold me to you
To chase away pain
To protect from hurt
Burning like acid rain
You try to posses me
To keep me from harm
To sheild me from all
In love's gentle charm
But still it gets through
To injure me again
To inflict once more
Dark, hear-aching pain
Yet you still try
To do your very best
To let me have peace
So my heart can rest
In your arms I try
To block it all out
To ignore all pain
and anger that's about
I can find a way
To truly be at rest
To truly be at peace
Because you are the best
At helping me try
To beat away pain
To keep away anger
And staying semi-saneI
t's because you try hard
To keep me from harm
To keep me from fight
That could break the charm
That keeps me strong enough
To let me live
To let me love
the one my heart I give
Because he try so hard
To do what is right
To always protect me
My beloved, shining Knight.
