I had no choice
But to put it all in a box
It was the only way I knew
How to do
What I knew most be done
It’s buried now
That immeasurable grief
That anger
Maybe a hint of regret
If that box
Ever somehow seeped
I’ve no idea
If I would survive

inI wrote those
darkest memories
In that tattered old journal
Ink slipped the stories
That only got told
In blood and nightmares
I let slip
The deepest of demons
And when
the words were done
I took that
tattered old journal
And set it to flames
Those darkest of memories
now ash and cinder
Still burning inside
But for a moment at least
a little cooler
And the nightmares
a little dimmer

Close my eyes
Be elsewhere
Anywhere other
Than in this dark
And dusty room
This isn’t my body
Not in this moment
I’m far away
At least for now
There’ll be time later
To be back here
Nightmares
And dark
Lost angry memories
Those will be the times
I’m back in this fucking room
But for now
I’m somewhere under
A deep blue sky
Not trapped
In this dark
And dusty room

Those ropes
Tight against my skin
Locked in the closet
Alone in the dark again
How many times
Had I been here before
Just one more monster
Being born within
How many of them
Were pushed into me
How many more
Were simply hiding
Already in my empty
Monsters born
Monsters already there
Looking back
How do I tell the difference
Between the monsters and me

inThe clock strikes midnight
And you realize
That for better or worse
You’ve survived another day
You give a sigh
Relief or regret
You’re never quite sure
Inside your demons relax
Soon though the moment passes
Your demons wake back up
Because you know
There’s another day coming
