a darker side in me

[Bleeding Impulse]

*note* I did NOT write this, but I got it in a email and thought it was good. So I decided to share it with you guys.

------
My heart has been smothered
by pain ignorance and disgust
happiness is overcome with
selfishness greed and lust
I'm not the kind of person
that I always used to be
that part has been taken over
by a darker side in me
a side I've never felt before
that I didn’t even know was there
a side that makes me feel
like no one will ever care
a side that makes me hate
that causes me to cry
a side that makes me give up
before I even begin to try
a side that makes me feel worthless
as though all I do is wrong
is it this that has destroyed me?
Cause I used to be so strong
I used to withstand pain
although I thought it would never end
but now in my heart there’s a tare
that no one can ever mend
I used to take so much pride
in the person that I was
but now I'm too concerned
weather anyone else does
I wish this would go away
and I could have a brand new start
I don’t know how much more I can take
before I'm left without a heart
