Sleepless nights
Too many to count
Ignoring the fear
That comes with the dark
And Tired Days
Ready to shout
Listening to the voices
My tired brain can't block out
And living a lie
Pretending
That the kid you know
Is really me.
So I go on
Not sleeping
Not speaking
Pretending everything's
Fine, Though I know that
Once again tonight
I'll watch the sunset
Get ready for bed
And stay up waiting for them
The demons I hear,
To whisper in my ear
To speak the truth
I don't want to hear
And once again
I'll pray for day
So the light can chase
The darker demons away.

But they only go as far as the darkest space of my mind.
