Overcoming the Night

 
The darkness is ALL CONSUMING.
I see no light for my healing.

The fears, the tears that BURN my face
Is a manifestation of what I HATE.

Being alone with MY thoughts?
NO, I'd rather NOT.

Thay HAUNT me. Thay MAKE me scream.
My life? Is a nightmarish dream.

Wanting to DIE but to afraid.
In ashes upon my bed I lay.

As the NIGHT intensifies
Weeping and gnashing MUST
be tranguilized.

Self medication? A PRIORITY.
Alcohol and drugs?
THAT'S? Barbarity.

With the STRESS that this life brings?
I can no longer find a reason to sing.

I cannot quiet my mind, my Peace alludes me.
No matter what I do,
FREEDOM?
I cannot see.

The pressure to live is beyong intense
I don't wanna be here.
Life makes no sense.

NO one wants to be here, NEITHER do I.
But I'm TRAPPED until the Sun,
STOPS rising in my life.

I search all night looking for help
REJECTION is my new whelp.

CRYING to EVERYONE in sight...
PLEASE tell me how to OVERCOME the night.
