Not my enemy, not my demons, not my nightly ghost
It’s my dark side that scares me the most
My inner thoughts frighten me
Growing like branches on a hidden tree
My roots plant firmly into the ground
To end where my self-hatred can be found
My depression leads me to destruction
While a new creation is under personal construction
I embrace my uniqueness and dance
Create vision and give myself another chance
I shout back to the shadows of the past
Suffocate the child within me, at last
I feel like I’m in a prison without a lock
A white whole with a reverse ticking clock
I’m scared of the moment that darkness will set in
The line between sane and insanity; for me so thin
In my world I want to be left alone
Just a soul, no clothes, no bone
Send me back to where I can be free
Let me go to where I need to be
