the sun lay beating on my breast

warm rays of sunshine pierced my skin

but i do not dare let them in

my life is empty

i am cold

from all the stories in my head

the past it haunts me through the night

with fiery flames it burns me

the shadows from once where there was light

creep across my skin

sinking deeper and deeper within

i fight and scream but nothing gives

the demons rule my thoughts

they push me down until i'm lost 

the sun shines through my windowpane

i haven't slept for i am scared

anxiety has won again
