Author’s Note – Please read before starting the story
Part I: Broken
It starts
with
It doesn’t
even matter how hard you try
Keep that
in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain
in due time
All I know
Time is a
valuable thing
Watch it
fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it
count down to the end of the day
The clock
ticks life away
It’s so
unreal
Didn’t look
out below
Watch the
time go right out the window
Trying to
hold on but didn’t even know
Wasted it
all just to
Watch you
go
I kept
everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it
meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the
end it doesn’t even matter
I had to
fall to lose it all
But in the
end it doesn’t even matter…
Part II: Blind
One thing,
I don’t know why
Doesn’t
even matter how hard you try
Keep that
in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind
myself how
I tried so
hard
In spite of
the way you were mocking me
Acting like
I was part of your property
Remembering
all the times you fought with me, I’m surprised
It got so
far
Things
aren’t the way they were before
You
wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that
you knew me back then
But it all
comes back to me
In the end
You kept
everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it
meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so
hard and got so far
But in the
end it doesn’t even matter
I had to
fall to lose it all
But in the
end it doesn’t even matter…
Part III: Breathless
I put my
trust in you
Pushed as
far as I can go
And for all
this
There’s
only one thing you should know
I tried so
hard and got so far
But in the end
it doesn’t even matter
I had to
fall to lose it all
But in the
end it doesn’t even matter

End” by Linkin Park
