Another night, another nightmare
And he has me once again
tear stricken eyes
I don’t know this man
yet he won’t relinquish his hold
And all I can hear was the shit I was told
And cry because I knew better
Momma told me so
But he just won’t. let. go
And this man I don’t know
Even if he speaks as if he knows me
So blinded I can’t see
I just… wanna yell
But the moment I opened my mouth it was like the words came out & fell
And crashed to the floor as I heard the creaking of my bedroom door
Then im up… Covered in sweat… tears in my eyes. It was just another bad dream
My sister came in because she heard my scream
Ridiculous I know…
Somethings gotta give I gotta go!
I have no peace
And even though it makes me cry
Writing seems to be my
only release
And now amongst all the things he took he now has my sanity
I don’t sleep.
So out of my skin I can’t be me
A bound prisoner in my own mind
I need help of some kind
Another night, another nightmare
See you don’t understand
Every night I lay down in this bed
And unlike you these images swirl in MY head
He’s all I see and I am constantly reminded of what he’s taken from me
Another night, another nightmare
Of feeling as if I am bound to a chair
Mangled hair watching a movie I’d rather not see.
A witness to the ordeal that’s happening to me
Yet I do not MOVE
Instead I watch helplessly because no one was there
And kept it to myself because I’d rather not share
Another night, another nightmare
And where does that leave me?
Stranded on the bridge between rational & insanity
Bound by shackles waiting for freedom of mind
Hopeless because I’m running out of time
Another night, another nightmare
I’ve become so tired & some days I feel like can’t go on
But because of what he did to me I AM STRONG
Another night, another nightmare
And somehow I’m still here
