Ever have a nightmare
keep reoccurring in your head.

If it happens why we are awake
We may be better off dead.

Things must go unanswered
How did this all start.

Wishing you could stop the pain,
Deep within your heart.

Heavy with guilt and sorrows,
Never being  able to speak.

How do you stop the pain inside,
Or find answers that you seek.

Monsters in your head
Eating at your soul.

Trying to subdue the beast,
Or at least be in control.

Lost dignity  from ones actions,
The pain will always persist.

It gets harder to control these demons,
Their power you must resist.

All we can  do is ask for forgiveness,
As we  pray and hope for the best.

We are still will be left with our demons
And pain upon our chest.

They say the key to healing,
Is speaking of the past.

But when words are never spoken,
The demons takeover fast.

Your mind becomes their playground,
And that’s where they stay and play.

Eating at Your emotions,
Each and every day.

Creating unbearable sadness,
By Tearing apart your soul.

Emptying out your insides,
Leaving behind a hole.

The monsters keep on clawing,
And dancing in your head.

Taking away your happiness ,
Wishing you were dead.

Dealing with guilt and sorrows,
Is how they all survive.

Hoping all the pain will end,
Just so you stay alive.

Their voices are getting louder,
Each and every day.

Trying to find the strength,
So I can keep them all at bay.

Live
Love
Hope
