My mind you seem to want to rape
To take all from me
Be all you expect me to be
To be numb from the hurt
I can dream away no longer alert
It is a quiet slumber
Your expectations no longer encumber
I can fly in my dreams
Do all that I please
To be me once again
To lay peaceful as though slain
When I lie here thus
No longer do I feel the verbal thrusts
It is my serenity I find
And some quiet peace of mind
Please don't wake me yet
I want to be still and forget
Slumber is all that I ask
To release me from my past
