Nightmares
As I close my eyes, the lightning cracks,
why do these dreams feel like a whip on my back!
I feel nothing but the pain, all the other feelings I lack!
This is my nightmare, and there is no taking it back!
Why is my mind imprisoned like this?
I never envisioned something like this!
I want to close my eyes and fall asleep,
Just fade away and no longer weep.
But I am emotionally scarred,these wounds have cut so deep.
Look into my eyes, look at the pain.
There isn't any emotion left for you to drain.
It's all gone, these nightmares haunted me for way too long.
I know it's probably wrong,
But a transition through pain has become my love song.
I may be broken,
But there was a window of opportunity and I forced it open!
No longer am I stuck in these nightmares! I have AWOKEN!
There may not be hope for me,
But I guess this world will have to wait and see.
With all the broken pieces, I have built a better me.
I will hold my ground,
You can't make me flee!
