Lack of Grace
I can feel it in me like a sickness or a tick
a virus in my brain and it slowly makes me sick
since this virus is not normal and resides within my mind
they say to see a doctor but it lives to deep to find
I search my head each night in lue of getting any sleep
I'm afraid of all the memories I have chosen not to keep
the monsters in their homes breathing heavy all around
I tip-toe through this nightmare not making any sound
Three eyed beings and monsters chant as I'm lurking through my past
I see all the things that I once loved with the things that didn't last
As the sun climbs the sky my hiding spots begin to fade
and before I can reach an answer I'm forced to hide back in the shade
As one journey ends another begins and I open my eyes
Still not feeling any better, nothing changes, no surprise
I get up to start another day, a wishful smile on my face
While hoping I can find myself and restore my former grace
