The Declaration

Its a known fact, about this battle
Peace is a myth, cages do rattle
This familiar feeling, never lets me stray 
From the road I wanted, to walk away

Making me think hard and wonder
Can I really stop this fight and surrender
Swaying around going back and forth
Like a vagabond on this disturbing fork

Things been taught have stopped to matter
Truth, nobility such ideas just clatter
Empty promises behind each and every door
Have formed a pit pinning me to floor

Of all the mistakes, I never really told
The worst was wrapping myself up in cold
In the golden cucoon, where hardships don't hinder
But all it ever did, was to make me tender

It did feel good and kept me warm
Hiding my skin and look of alarm
I kept piling up sheet after sheet
But now I'm a lone wolf walking the street

This false feeling has gotten in so deep
The thoughts to let go makes me fall steep
To the dark depths of an unknown fear
The pits of lonliness can be seen so clear

I know its a battle and I can't let go 
So will have to man up and take this blow
Mustering all the courage will walk all I can
Going all out, not bothering to plan

Even if I break down, even if I fail
It won't really matter if its a heads or tail
I've talken my chips and ready for games
I'll burn out bright before going down in flames
