I know you don't like her,
But how am I supposed to know,
I wasn't even born then,
I didn't ask for her genes,
I didn't ask for it to flow through my veins,
I don't know her that well,
But,based on the stories u told me,
She made life a living hell,
People hated her,she was crazy,
She was only respected for her man,
She didn't like you too,
She was lazy,
I remind you of her,I know,
I look a lot like her,
Don't hate me too,
I'm not like her,not like you,
You called her stupid for years,
Now she's old,and has dementia,
I'm still young and have flowing tears,
I don't know how to deal with this isomnia.
The woman I refer to here is my nan,my grandma hated her because she thinks my nan ruined my grandfather's reputation.I have my Nan's genes.My grandma always says I'll end up like her.

In a room full of people
Yet I'm so empty inside
So tired of putting on these masks
With nowhere to hide

Under my bed
in the midst of the night
my demons run loose
and keep me up with fright

I'm constantly running
Away from myself
Screaming, shouting, crying
For anyone to help

And as the sun rises
I've survived another day
Still clinging on to the hope
That this will all go away
Short version of the poem that inspired my new song
Alexander Madera Dec 2016
The computer dried my eyes out while streaming TV shows for a couple hours.
After being mentally exhausted my heart grows vulnerable.
My depressing thoughts cloud my head with toxic; mustard gas.
I can only escape reality for so long.
What now?
Not everyone can feel comfortable at home.
12:21 A.M.
I look outside my house to find the dimly lit streets welcoming my mind.
I grab my keys.
I grab my phone.
I grab my cigarettes.
Let's go for a walk...
"How are you feeling?"
*******.

Can I be your dream?
There to explore the stories untold
The one hidden beneath your body language
You and me... No one to unfold
the coffers within but we...
It's a starry night for you
But cupid strikes me to insomnia
It's  high time... Should invoke you
And it wouldn't be like another night you survive
With a touch, with warmth with sighs
Waking up and asking oneself what was it that left me by five?
What is born with your sleep and dies by five?

— The End —
