Lost within

I sit here day after day

always being the good girl everyone knows

when i really wanna scream

do you really think i am as good as you claim

have you ever  truely listened to me

i think not 'for you see

i hide it so well

not wanting any to feel sorry for me

many a nights i have cried myself to sleep

only to wake sweating

still fighting these demons within

when sleep does come

its restless

for you see these demons  know not how

they hold my heart hostage

not letting me be who i really want

ripping at my soul

keeping me prisoner with in myself

i try so hard to break free

to be the real me

but i am tired

maybe when the night comes

when its dark forever

maybe then will i be free

oh god let it be soon

for i have  no strength to go on

yes i know  i have my children

but what kind of mom am i

when i have no soul of my own
