I Must Go Now

Running from a monster ten  times my speed

Momma I must go before the spirits latch on me

Just in time fore i am  swallowing the key

and im trapped within the prison

A prison where the mind flirts with insanity

 

For I must go before the anger grows on my heart like mold

And sadness pokes holes and im empty before dark

See i've seen and been through more thick then thin

but none has been said and I run between sheets and head

Casting myself into a isolating slumber

Called depression

Which turns my paranoia into obsession

And makes me question

Who will stay and who will go?

 

So, I must make the move

Before i'm down where maggots chew through

And worms sleep smooth

Product of the past where she weeps blue

This mind its see through

All of my moves 

Are being caught on record

 

As I step out

A breath of the freshest air

A realization

Inside this loving world

That here is where my love is loved

And loved till Terras toes curl

My burdens are lifted

and thoughts are now shifted

And my smile is real

and not a shield to hide the pain
