Syringes at Midnight

Brushing teeth
In the middle of the night
I have no idea why
A drink to clear the head
Wanting something
Anything to numb the pain
A cry in the darkness
Rings out in dead silence
Shaking and hesitation
Not wanting what comes next
But needing it
Finally there is calm
With closed eyes
A willingness to accept it
What must come next
To be able to sleep again
Escaping the suffering
With tired resolve
And syringes at midnight

Rise Above

I hit the wall
Can my limits go no further?
Again and again
I smash into it
And again and again
It knocks me down
But I'm not concerned
With the getting knocked down
The only thing I'm worried about
Is the getting back up
Because no limit can hold me
If this wall won't move
Then I'll smash through
Pushing my limit
Beyond anything thought possible
And I will be the impossible
Rising to the challenge
Going beyond the limit break
Nothing can hold me down
And nothing can hold me back
I may be hitting a wall right now
But my mind is already seeing it
Smashed into oblivion
That every time I hit the ground
The image becomes clearer
And I will break through
I will go beyond
I will break free
I will exceed my limits
I will never stop
I will rise above this
Just you watch
