The Beast
"Maybe there is a beast...maybe it's only us." (William Golding, Lord of the Flies)
PTSD
Visions of souls and things that went wrong
Visions of past that eats me to the bone
I am stuck in the world of ghosts and “my fault”
I want to get out but I just dig more
Haunted by demons that rip me to shreds
“Bring on the storm”- I scream in my head
Starved of the sunlight I cling on to my meds
Just hold on tight as I bury myself in bed
Mr green doctor eases the pain
Shrooms seem to take it all away
Ambien keeps the nightmares alive
And here I go again on this crazy ride
Nightmares, monsters
Time to hide
Shakes and jitters
I’m out of my mind
Haunted by past
Can’t live my dreams
Haunted by my mind
Just set me free
