As tears of weakness fall.
Who am I to be your echo?
When words can crush my soul!

I want to be a freedom wish,
That flies above the stars.
And yet with all my honesty,
I cannot heal my wounds.

For you are all my eyes can see
Of everything and more,
And yet such thorns pierce me yet!
Who can I be to you?

I am the one to comfort,
A healing entity.
Despised within for all I
Know, I never can succeed.

For in my heart there is
Decay, my flesh is death/'/s
Own smile, for even as I take
A breath, my image is gone!

None of what I say to you,
I have truly heard.
Because I will return to
The earth, and I will
Have failed.
