I had the dream again.
Im running in place and I cant scream.
My lips make motions but my lungs fall silent and my tongue seems tied to my teeth.
My blood is at its boiling when I feel you next to me.

Ive always begged
Please leave me
They would always say
You didnt deserve anything.
It was all give and take
I give you the world
You take away pieces of me.

Ill wake up from this hell
Ill be a man instead of a hollow shell.
Im finally sleeping sound.
A peace ive found
Even with missing piece of myself.
Im a man.
Not a hollow shell.
