Nighttime.

Daylight is gone, and the sky matches my soul
So, dark so lonely, its sucks me into that black hole
Praying and hoping for sleep to come quick
Forgetting for awhile, and dreaming of not being sick

The world is asleep, save for me, as always alone
The thoughts of the bad things, cut me quick to the bone
Lying there alone, hurting, sad, and wanting to die
Knowing there's no one in the night and nothing left but to cry

I struggle and fight, not to let the depression creep
A battle so feirce and lonely, the climb up so steep
Wanting so much to be "normal" and not in this hell
Wishing and hoping to only be well

Ah, sleep's sweet release, a short little death
Life in sweet flowers, roses, orchids, baby's breath
Hoping for dreams, that are filled with nothing but good
Dreaming of a life, of feeling normal happy, when I should

The illness consumes me, and I want my life back
I put on my happy face, and try not to crack
Yearning so much to be happy and filled with laughter
Knowing the climb is so long and so steep, But Lord... Please...
Let me die.....
That's what I'm after....
