Make it Stop

The darkness in the room is nothing compared,
to the darkness in my mind.
Why does the darkness keep me up at night?
Why won't it let me sleep?
Why does it torture me at night?
All it does is bring me down.

Make it stop.

And so, the light becomes visible.
Another sleepless night goes by.
There's no energy left.
You took it all,
But the day must start, so you say.
Why are you still bothering me?
Why won't you leave me alone?

Shaking hands,
Inner panic,
Constant nausea,
Fidgeting,
Trouble breathing,
This lump in my throat,
The voices in my head,
They won't leave me alone.

Why won't you leave me alone?
Haven't you done enough damage?
The darkness won't stop.
Why won't it stop?

Make it stop.

I'm back to where I started.
My place of nightly torture.
You're still here.
Loud voices,
Things are being thrown around.
They're arguing again.

Make it stop.

Leave me alone.

Another day has passed.
The moon has replaced the sun.
The inner darkness won't leave me alone.
Make I leave me alone.

Make it stop...

Why must you always drain all the energy from me?
Why must you constantly ruin my mood?
Why must you always stress me out?
Why won't you let me sleep?
Why won't you let me go through my day?
Why must you always interfere?

I'm trying my best.
I'm doing what I can.
I know it's never enough.

I know I'm never enough.

Quit reminding me.

Leave me alone.

Get out of my mind.
Get out of my head.
Let the light replace you...please.

Just, make it stop...
