Even though life seems to be teaching me sometimes I wonder if ever I will truly and without doubt feel like I am really free...                                         (for you see, sometimes                                         the fears, the nightmares                                         come back in the dark of night                                         and I lay there shivering with absolute fright!)                    and then I think if I close my eyes tight they (the monsters in my head) will not be able to see just how much they're frightening me-- but still, the darkness lurks at the end of every single day and I have to manage somehow to keep the fears/monsters/my pain at bay...                                          So, even though life seems to be teaching me                                          sometimes I wonder if ever                                          I will truly and without doubt                                          feel like I am really free...

Really free?
Even though life seems to be teaching me sometimes I wonder if ever I will truly and without doubt feel like I am really free...                                         (for you see, sometimes                                         the fears, the nightmares                                         come back in the dark of night                                         and I lay there shivering with absolute fright!)                    and then I think if I close my eyes tight they (the monsters in my head) will not be able to see just how much they're frightening me-- but still, the darkness lurks at the end of every single day and I have to manage somehow to keep the fears/monsters/my pain at bay...                                          So, even though life seems to be teaching me                                          sometimes I wonder if ever                                          I will truly and without doubt                                          feel like I am really free...
I'm getting better about shoving it out of my head, but still have my rough nights... :(
