In the morning I rise
and thank God for the Sun.
Everytime surprised
that I woke up from the night before.
In the ungodly hours of the night
my sleep is disturbed.
My thoughts are not my own
and I reel at the words.
Everytime I wake up
I am whole
anew.
My sighs aren't so long
yet, my lies are so true
But when I go to sleep
my room is my cage
where I tear myself apart
in a beastly rage.
In the morning I rise
and marvel at my life.
With a honest mask on my face
triffling is the strife.
In the ungodly hours of the night
the moon is my reminder:
"There is a monster she's fighting,"
it whispers.
"The evil inside her."
