Here I Weep

I grew silent I have stopped fighting

I am drained of all the lighting

And in the darkness

even the strongest of hearts break

even the purest of souls are tempted

My life is what I have never regretted

I wish people knew that choosing to stay is brave and walking away is weak

but often misjudged, here I break here I weep.
