Faith

just different

Every night my head is filled with screams,

I’m losing sleep cause of constant nightmares.

Why should I pray for pleasant dreams?

Since it’s something I can no longer bare,

I turn up the volume in my headphones to calm the noise.

Trying to bring peace and avoid the thought of death,

Is somehow interrupted by an internal wicked voice,

Claiming he’s going to permanently take away my breath.

Quickly I retaliate by ignoring the sickening tone.

While my withered body drops to the floor on its knees,

I cry out towards the sky that my body and mind has become a warzone.

So I ask the King of Kings to please bring me some peace.

So far the Lord has been quiet every night,

Doesn’t mean I quit walking by faith and give up the fight.
