Late Night Storms

You can feel it coming

The storm is brewing

Dark clouds arise

As the late night falls

Destruction is ready

A broken mind isn't

It starts slowly

Those sad feelings,

Uncontrollable thoughts

Everything starts shaking

It gets harder to breathe

And you're rocking back and forth

You beg for it to stop,

Ask it to not

Insanity is a masterpiece that isn't reality

But it's your reality

Living inside of your mind,

Feeding off of your broken pieces

Of the heart and soul

The damaged parts deep inside

The broken person that hides

It's dark, it's late

You're alone, there's no one else

No one to help

You fall, and you break

Your heart breaks

The mess comes

You cry, and you try not to

Hell's gates have opened again

Just as they did last night

The mind becomes a storm

The body is the destruction below

On the ground, you fall

Screaming, crying, dying and trying

No more strength is left to be strong

So you take your blades

And you put them to your skin,

You open up the pain within

It pours like rain

Then you fall even further

Your heart breaks even worse

Even darker becomes the soul

And insanity grows

The worst part about it all,

Is the demons know just when to hurt

When it's late at night

And you're all alone

Everyone is asleep,

You beg for someone to help

You beg for it all to stop

Yell and scream, hit and punch

Shake and break

But you're alone

And as much as you want someone to help

For someone to be there,

For someone to save you

The storm is just at it's peak.
