Poetry

Cease to Be

written by: OurSacredHonor

How can I express
These feelings I suppress
The tension builds inside
My thoughts they all collide
Cannot stand the pain
The wracking of my brain
It drives me up a wall
I slip and then I fall
Losing self control
Pressure takes its toll
At night it all escapes
As I lye awake
Afraid to fall asleep
Afraid to let me weep
As I lye here still
Using all my will
Just to stay awake
Afraid that I might break
As I lye alone
The voices inside moan
"Let me out you freak,
Or else I'll wail and shriek,
Torment you from inside,
You cannot run and hide.
This time you won't be free,
This time you will be me!
I will take control!
I will take your soul!
Consciousness demands
You drown amongst the sands.
You will cease to be.
Forever you'll be me!"
Hopelessly I fight
Through the endless night
But no ally doth appear
As dreams turn into fear
My hope turns into dust
It rots and then it crusts
As the horrors within me
Scream "You're not free!
You are me!
Cease to be!"
