I lay here in darkness alone in the night,

Fear for my blanket, my eyes open wide.

Hush now there, don’t despair as you sleep.

I’m here, right beside you, watching you breathe

I tighten my grip on the fear that surrounds me

Where is the voice that whispers so loudly

Hush, now there, I’m here in the shadow.

Give me your fears, as I lay down beside you.

My body is frozen. Why can’t I escape?

The voice, it controls me, like a venomous snake.

Hush now there, I’m here right beside you,

Controlling your mind and keeping you lied to.

I want to escape!

To unveil the darkness, but the voice keeps me trapped, shy and voiceless.

Hush now there, go to sleep , just breathe

I’m right here inside you, too quiet to see

I’m deafened by silence as the voice slips away

My tortured soul quieted, for another day
