I imagine the darkness caressing my face
While the clock holds its hands - keeping time
I am lost in a world of magical dreams
Surrounded with lyrical rhyme
Whispers in the air - of things I’ve never seen
Footsteps creep for me, down the hall
I dream of places I have never been
As I sit face to face with the wall
Someone is coming, the voice says to me
You can’t run, you can’t fight, you can’t hide
It's coming soon, so be prepared to see
It’s in you - hidden deep down inside
As I struggle to befriend - this internal beast
I have unknowingly nurtured along
I find myself humming, gritting my teeth
Trying not to give in to his song
But the melody is melancholy
A Reminder of who I once was
Before I gave in to frivolous folly
Needing approval and others applause
Now I sit here - uncertain about who I am
Not quite me, and yet not someone else
Wondering if I can reclaim me again
And recapture that part of myself
