I wake up at night
suffering from night terrors
Eyes filled with fright
hoping it’s a nightmare
With all of my might
I get up or just lie there
My life’s a big fight
hoping people might care
I turn on the lights
still asleep like I’m impaired
Eyes wide open with no sight
& I’m in despair
To no delight
I am a guy in disrepair
Something’s not right
I see things fly in midair
It’s time to take flight
& hope God does his share
This is why I write
so I can let out all of my fear
Cause… Honestly
I have visions of monsters
& everyday imposters
How can I conquer
when others have no honor?
I’m all hot and bothered
and led to the slaughter
I have no son or daughter
& I feel as if I’m fodder
I also have no father
so all I can do is hate & holler
My Mothers no scholar
and she never did prosper
My parents are not proper
Who are more like robbers
They really made me feel obscure
as if I’m not pure
I’d get beat & clobbered
treating me like a squatter
Am I a goner
it seems like I will always falter
