A Soul that yearns to be Free
Deep in the night when the foul wind blows
The nightmares come and no one knows
The dread that you feel, as you lie awake scared
You wish that this time you would be spared
But each night they come, to drive you insane
They point and they hiss, calling your name
Those demons inside, the place where they live
You given them all your spirit can give
Each night they return they want to take more
Banging and clanging on the minds door
Begging for purchase they want to get in
You’re starting to think, you’ll never win
Your body is beaten, there’s barely a sign
Your pulse is weak, your heart a flat line
Scratching and crawling attempting to leave
Looking for mercy a one time reprieve
And then it happens, a small distraction
A dawning of self starts a chain reaction
The darkness pales, the light seeps in
And all at once, the changing begins
You mind less cloudy, your focus refined
Echo’s of laughter, at the back of your mind
They think they have you, but alas it’s a rouse
The battle is yours, they’re about to lose
They don’t see it coming, they should’ve known
Their game is over; it’s time they were shown
The mind, the spirit, the body become one
The fighter emerges and the dance is done
It’s one more lesson they had to learn
Come play with fire and you will get burned
Pull on a tiger’s tail you see
And eaten alive is what you will be
When the sleeper awakens and opens his eyes
The darkness can no longer harbor the lies
The truth remains so plain to see
For a soul that yearns to be set free
