The Darkness


no no no !

it cant be happening again PLEASE NO !

leave me alone, get your hands off me, please leave me alone !

deep breaths, sweating, the hands reaching out of the walls

they call me at night, haunting me , taunting me, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE

i cant focus i can barely make it through the day

i pic up my blunt, lighting it and falling back 

pulling, puffing, then cutting... silently screaming

hoping one day someone will realize what i cant find the strength to say

it rip my mouth from my face, placed it in my mind and locked it there

taken me from a gentle lily and now im c4

BOOM BOOM BOOM

it creeps up on me... slowly sneaking up on me... its too late
