I suddenly awoke in the darkness of my room
My heart was pounding, it could feel the impending doom
I couldn't breath, I couldn't see
The ones who left said they were gonna be there for me
I could feel the footsteps of the creature in the darkness
The one who preys on the lonely and the heartless
In the war against my mind I am the only soldier, I thought someone could help, only to find myself more alone as I grow older
I started to believe I was going crazy, my vision was blinded and my thoughts were hazy
All this while I was laying in bed, waging a war that I thought would leave me dead
Oh the dread, to get up and fight the tangible battles, to be a normal citizen, a lifeless cattle
Took me a while to notice someone
had poisoned my drink
It was a substance that controlled what I could think
The person who poisoned me, made me feel mentally ill, blaming all our
problems on my head
Making me lose all my will
Be careful who you allow in your lives, some are out to kill
Not with a gun or a knife but with words that can drain your will to live
