In the darkness, I am lost. 

Alone, drowning in my pain. 

The line to hell, I have crossed. 

Battered, bruised, and stained. 

Screaming, yet nobody hears. 

How long must I fight? 

I cry never-ending tears 

all throughout the night. 

The world is asleep and at peace; 

while dark shadows creep inside. 

I can’t stop my endless worries. 

I am desperate for this to subside. 

Night after night goes like this, 

and weakens my broken heart. 

I don’t know what true peace is, 

but I know that I am falling apart. 

I have a name that nobody knows; 

for nobody even knows I exist. 

My truth inside, I can’t disclose, 

My pain has always been dismissed. 

But maybe one day I can be known, 

when the truth they no longer fear. 

I light the way to the truth that is shown, 

but the truth is not what it appears.
