I Am Fine

Everyone is asleep
But I can't find peace
In this cold place you call home
I call hell
Wrapped in blankets
The coldness still surrounds me
The stillness of this house creeps
Into the corners of my mind
Leaving me here
In fear
Surrounded by my own tears
I can't breath
The monsters are no longer under the bed
They made their way to my head
Found a place to live
They now won't leave
I can't stand the silence
It's eating me alive
There's no-one to help me
They are all asleep
Enjoying their slumber
I can't bring them pain
Mine would only increase
Never to leave
Just like these monsters
Eating my soul
All that I have left
Since my sanity went south for the winter
The birds are flying away
All the leaves are gone
Nothing will be the same
In my mind
So sleep away
I am fine anyway
