The boogeyman


The boogeyman is always lurking Tormenting me in my sleep Burning me when I'm try speaking Regretting the promises I didn't keep He keeps me roped down Strangling me in deep waters Where I always drown Ripping me to shred leaving me slaughtered Suffacated by the weight Seeing the shadow of myself smiling Looking at the dumb decisions I made Not questioning anymore why I'm drowning I Drive myself insane The guilt strikes me always I don't take the blame just cry and lay wonder why everything goes wrong when I don't get it tamed I try to escape but trapped in the abyss In need of comforting arms Not realising my soul is priceless In need self love and to stay calm Muffling with my mouth sealed shut Will I ever free myself from his clutches Witnessing the scars from the cuts Will I ever be unshackled from his dungeon?
