Lead me to the darkness where I will find my nightmare So I can face it myself In a battle of the wits I will throw at it my sticks The same ones that were thrown at me before. I will sharpen them on stone, Made of crystal and of bone, The same one that has hurt me before. But We all know those don’t hurt as much, As the words too sharp to touch, That our enemies bestowed upon us. So, I will think of every hurtful word Every memory, every holler Snicker, whisper ever heard. I will cast it towards the darkness Hoping it will hit as hard as it once did. But with my mind and vision blurred With hatred I once deterred I will not realize what I have done. At once, the light inside my soul The one that shone throughout my struggles The one that emanated through my bones At once, it will dim and hardly glow A cloud of chaos will surround My body as I try to hear my own sounds The ones I hurled at the night At the enemy I thought I was supposed to fight I will walk throughout the night, Hoping someone will hear my plight, I will walk and walk Until I feel the pain Of thousands of stones Of millions of words Of many sticks thrown at my bones Until I realize at last, The nightmare of my past, The one that haunted my dreams, That nightmare I was fighting, I am now that nightmare, The nightmare is me.

the daily nightmare
Lead me to the darkness where I will find my nightmare So I can face it myself In a battle of the wits I will throw at it my sticks The same ones that were thrown at me before. I will sharpen them on stone, Made of crystal and of bone, The same one that has hurt me before. But We all know those don’t hurt as much, As the words too sharp to touch, That our enemies bestowed upon us. So, I will think of every hurtful word Every memory, every holler Snicker, whisper ever heard. I will cast it towards the darkness Hoping it will hit as hard as it once did. But with my mind and vision blurred With hatred I once deterred I will not realize what I have done. At once, the light inside my soul The one that shone throughout my struggles The one that emanated through my bones At once, it will dim and hardly glow A cloud of chaos will surround My body as I try to hear my own sounds The ones I hurled at the night At the enemy I thought I was supposed to fight I will walk throughout the night, Hoping someone will hear my plight, I will walk and walk Until I feel the pain Of thousands of stones Of millions of words Of many sticks thrown at my bones Until I realize at last, The nightmare of my past, The one that haunted my dreams, That nightmare I was fighting, I am now that nightmare, The nightmare is me.
