All of a sudden
Jolted bolt
I’m awake
And revolt
Sudden fear
Soaking wet
I’m afraid
All this sweat
In my room
Facing you
There you are
In my full view
Oh no you don’t
Come after me
I can’t stand
Anxiety
After all
I’ve come so far
At this hour
There you are
I want to scream
But I’m too scared
There’s no escaping
This is hard
Why did I wake
Why can’t I sleep
Where is my soul
For God to keep
I was so fine
For many day
And then you call
I hear you say
Oh the fool
Inside my heart
Wanted to
Believe your part
But now I know
You are a danger
Once I married
A total stranger
Unknown to me
Your evil blows
How my heart
Remembers so
And I alone
Know your secret
You try so hard
To make me keep it
Oh the sweat
Has chilled me now
I look around
And wonder how
I was not
In bed at all
But face to face
With evil’s call
What I know now
And didn’t then
You are not real
You’re fake again
To the anguish
PTSD
All the pain
And anxiety
Commander
In my head is me
I’m done with this
It will not be
I have spoken
I have said
You cannot hurt
What is dead
I stopped recalling
All you did
And now I’m living
Without your bid
Shivers let me
Feel my skin
It really helps
To see your sin
For now I know
And can abide
No more of this
And I won’t hide
