The Silence

Dont you see in my head there’s a war waging

In 1975 mayhem erupted and on that July day when I entered the world

The demons surrounded me waiting

Nightmares when I was sleeping torturing dreams

I hear the knocking evil is coming for me

The noise in my head

Paranoia expanding…..I am suffocating I cant breath

Each day is the same day to me

I wake up from a night where sleep never comes to face the day

A day of regret pain and misery

A day where silence seems forbidden

A day where there’s no peace or satisfaction

I open my eyes to darkness

I claw and scratch and scream

In a box within the earth

6 feet beneath
