I’m not alright
I’m not okay
I fought the night
And I writhe in the day
Plagued by nightmares
And night terrors
Afraid That I might scare
My love bearer
I hold fast my tongue
To protect my young
To detect the thrum
Of my heart that I know there’s some
Chance I can make it past
My demons untouched
I hurry past fast
And carry on just such
I pray for talent
I pray for a chance
I pray to be gallant
I pray to hold my stance
There is a siege below
And I hold fast my gate
I wish for what I see to slow
Yet my impatience can’t wait
I want fame
I want fortune
I want my name
To be fortunate
To live no more in struggles
To outpace my mental decline
So I shrug and buckle
And try to fit in line
Where’s my likes?
Where’s my views?
Where you say sike
I fight back and choose
To be stronger than this
To make it to glory
So I ball my fists
And I write my story
