Boot up the computer from a dormant sleep,
A logo strides across the pitch-black screen.
A million lines of Binary code,
All made up from 0's and 1's.
A lifeless character that has life easy.
A plain, flat world easy to traverse lies before him.
The whip of keys instantly splashes color into the grey pixels,
And with the Lines of thought and programming,
Obstacles now stand in his path that he must overcome.
The background is set,
The bugs and glitches are fixed.
All that’s left is for the character to conquer this path,
Then as quickly as it began,
It will begin again.

The land of milk and honey seemed to disappear,
The pitch-black night,
Fear drew near,
Whether it be family fights,
Or bumps in the night
You remembered there's a happy place,
A happy face,
Where nightmares leave no trace,
And for a change of pace,
You now hold grace.

Every time you closed your eyes
Your parents sang you lullabies,
You cried,
You asked your parents to switch on the light,
Because you were chilled by the fright of night,
Nightmares can attack with anything,
A shadowy man,
Or a monster with wings,
When you've had nightmares you've seen all these things,
Fear will bow down and you'll be a king.

In your heart and your mind,
Venture to find,
A place of your own,
A place called home.

I am gone
Yet everyone can see me,
I am here,
I am noticed

Yet everyone can see me
I did something wrong,
I am noticed
and I want to fade into nothing,

I did something wrong,
They never cared,
and I want to fade into nothing,
I am always alone

They never cared,
I am here,
I am always alone,

I am gone
