My Fight

My Fight

As I turn off the lights every night

I am thrust into a terrible fight

It's not and ordinary one, no not at all

I am chained to a cold stone wall

An old friend walks in and smiles

It's as if they haven't see me in awhile

They hug me as I beg them to free me

They whisper in my ear "only you can set yourself free"

I ask what they mean

They say "you will see"

all of a sudden they are gone

low but clear I hear a beautiful but terrifying song

I am suddenly in a horrible place

in my mind appears an ugly face

it haunts my every waking thought

ties my stomach in a knot

tears of blood run down my cheeks

I know what they seek

they want me to box up my love in a crate

the only way they survive is if I hate

my head starts to spin

I know how this goes, I wont let them win

they want me to become one of them

heartless and cold,

their souls already sold

I wont believe in what they say

it's the same thing day after day

" you're too far gone"

oh god! please bring dawn

my scars start to bleed

the devil has planted his seed

I won't! oh god no!

I'm not too far gone to save myself

I am strong

I wont let go, I've held on for too long

they only way to stop them is to prove them wrong

I shut my eyes and open my heart

the love I have pierces them like a dart

finally, I'm free

as I wake I see in color and hear the birds tweet

I'm no longer a prisoner of that place

I no longer have to see that face

I am no longer scared to turn off my lights,

for I have won my fight
