"Wake."

Wake in a sweat again

Another day's been laid to waste

In my disgrace

Stuck in my head again

Feels like I'll never leave this place

There's no escape

The thoughts crash through my mind like cars.

Breaking me down and tearing me up.

I lie awake at night, counting my scars in a pitiful attempt to put myself to sleep.

It doesn't work.

I used to sleep without waking up.

In a dream I made from painted walls.

I was a moment away from done.

When the black spilled out across it all.

But my eyes were made sober.

World was turned over.

Washing out the lines I'd seen

And my heart is still breaking.

Now that I awaken.

No one's left to answer me.

I hold my breath.

And close my eyes.

And wait for dawn.

But there's no light.

I hyperventilate.

Looking for help somehow.

Somewhere.

But no one cares.

I don't know what to take.

Thought I was focused.

But I'm scared.

I'm not prepared.
