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
