Demons in My Dreams

I live my life with my heart on my sleeve

my emotions tell me what to believe

I try to not let it sadden me

only time will tell how it will end up to be

like a dark shadow creeping in my dreams

the reepers come through and tears them from me

shakenly awakened by the horror of my night

my heart pounds and makes me want to take flight

if only it weren't going to come true

I'll fight for us, me and you

never enough to truly take me down

I'll stand tall and proud for as long as I'm around

our struggle continues to drag me lower

my plight seems like it's never over

a moment of happiness over shadowed by pain

this torment inside is hard to contain

I awake in tears more often than not

this is something I pray to stop

a gift or a curse its unsure to me

but one thing I know is its special to see

some call me crazy, a liar, a fool

they see what they want and that's all they can do

it comes to me from my past, present or future

tells me of whats to come which is more like torture

I'd rather not know, just leave my mind at peace

these horrid dreams need to cease

a cry for help and a sigh of relief

two things that never give me peace

tired and alone I forge on
