The Ink I Bleed

To be alive
To strive for something more
For a chance in the fight
to turn the dark to light
To give a dream a heartbeat
and know I can be complete
To fight the ghosts
that haunt my heart and soul
For pain diagnosed
and its terrible toll
To cleanse of the rotten
For a chance to be more
than forgotten
