Insomnia
There are monsters in the deep
That eat our secrets while we sleep
If they make it to the light
Will they betray us
Will people run away in fear
As the beast slowly appears
Or will they see the true face beneath the atrocity
All the pain so long held hidden
From relief that's been forbidden
Burdened by the weight of all its shame
Shielded from their frowns
By wearing someone else's crown
Answering only to the name that you've been gifted
He comes for her at night
His face an awful fright
Close your eyes and release him from his prison
As he ravages the town
For new secrets to be found
She wonders if her own can be forgiven
