Praying

In a room, in a corner
in the dark of the night

I'm hiding from my monster
while I gain the strength to fight

A giggle, and a chuckle
echo through my brain

I plug my ears but I still feel it
trapping like a chain

A breath, a sigh
a single dead eye

I have nowhere he cannot see
not even in my mind

In a room, in a corner
in the dark of the night

I'm hiding from my monster
and praying for daylight
