It's 2am and here I sit. From my fingers the colors drip. Sleep was peaceful, I easily fell. The nightmares last forever, Inescapable hell. When I finally arise To feel the tears pour from my eyes, There's no way to make it right. So I stay up all night. Whether it's poems, painting, coloring; It's the only way to set me free. For the demons I cannot face, The love they need I cannot replace. I try to create beauty To replace joy stolen from me. But the pain doesn't ever slow So deeper into madness I must go. Words find the colors, the pencils too, Trying to find my pretty pieces to display them to **you.
