My heart cries

My soul bleeds

My mind screams out in pain

I slowly exhale

My body goes numb

The memories still remain

The voices won't still

The soundtrack drones on

A prisoner inside my own head

I close my eyes

I whisper a prayer

I beg for the end up ahead

The quiet never comes

I find no relief

From the demons I battle by night

I swallow more ammo

I brace for the combat

Till I can lay down my armor by light
