The Truth Within

I watched the cities crumble,
Empires brought to their knees.
I watched the mountains tumble
Into the hungry seas.

I bore the weight of this world until my mind caved in.
I told them all to follow,
But they indulged in sin.

I was born to suffer for mankind.
No other revelation in my time of need.

I want to wake up from this dream.
I need this to end.
I tried to make them all see
That my fear is my only friend.

I walked the straight and narrow for all eternity.
I threw everything away.
More than they could ever see.
