Bedside Prayer

Those nights when you feel all alone
When memories leave you lost and cold

Scattered and nervous; what life is this
To continue breathing this existence?

How could I let it go on for so many years?
Why did I wait so long to face my fears?

Switched on autopilot with no control
While fake plastered smiles took their toll

And I try to sleep but the memories cascade
Emotional whirlwinds sweep me away

So I do what I know must be done
I am a warrior and I will no longer run

The truth is clear and I see you
Bastard who used to scream and abuse

You hold no power over me anymore
This is me closing and locking the door

Goodnight you fucker, may you toss and turn
With a guilty conscience that makes you burn

May I rest well and sleep deeply tonight
For this battle is done, and I’ve won the fight

🙏
