As I lie awake in bed
my thoughts start to fill with dread
I thought my demons were not real
my heart was to heal
but when I look around
my enemies creep upon me without a sound
the yelling and screaming begin
sounding like a roaring wind
I listen with silent tears
and I have been through this for many years
A broken home
A child feeling all alone
even with friends abound
I still drown
with thoughts and fears far worse than many think
I just feel like I am about to sink
far past the bottom of the ocean
and all I see is red with one single motion
and all the demons retreat for the night
but wait until my thoughts are just right
to strike again, but worse than before
I don't know how much longer till they open the door
and I am no longer their little boy
