A cracked and worn

carapace holds my mind.

Split and broken,

no wounds have healed.

These thoughts spill

over the cusp, a poison leaving my body!

This damage has me dead to rights.

An unshakeable feeling of dread,

I can hear their voices in the dead of night..

coming for me!

Searching for their penance.

The fear has taken me,

I have nowhere to run.

Searching the deepening chasm,

seeking that which holds the key

to my mind.

(Key to my mind)

Help me maintain this stability,

don't let me fall prey to the beasts

within.

An unsettling feeling crawls

it's way up my spine.

Help me shake these demons

that haunt me and step in every time.

Help me find my way back home, take my

hand and lead me back, far away

from this place of pain.

Away from this, away from this hell.

This hell I have created for myself. Help

me find my way.
