Early hours in the morning,
Do I dare to open my eyes.
Another day of grief, a day of fear,
Loneliness is what I feel.
Trying to understand this pain,
The guilt i feel within.
A day on wondering, full of confusion,
Will it ever end?
All this anger and pain I feel,
Does it have to stay?
Evening comes, afraid of the nightmares,
My breathing stops, staring into the night,
A night of hiding, of crying, alone again.
Unable to cry another tear,
A heart that is empty.
Insecurity takes over my day.
Will it ever go away?
