I dreamed a dream this hour

That made me wake and think

The frightful thoughts that drown my mind 

That cause my heart to sink

Are manifested subconscious hopes

Daring me to drink

The burning sands that fill my lungs

Fires raging in my core 

End it all…be done right now

Your suffering no more

Time again I whisper in darkness

This trouble too shall pass

But blink just once and time stands still

Yet I’m still wearing this mask 

My smile perfected, eyes casting great lies

My laughter projected

no one knows how hard I try

Not to end it all….be done right now

There’s away out of this hole

When I wake I’ll find how.
