Wow

How long its been Since darkness crowded Overcrowded her very being Since hatred filled Her every thought And all hope was lost it seemed How long its been Since nighttime Hurt Tears Pain Since demons held the key To her How long its been Since being a slave to impulses And martyr of dreams How long has it been She cowering in fear of what The night will bring Scared of the demons That haunted nighttime thoughts Now she stands Staring them square in the face Not afraid of the hurt they harbour Though scars they left Stil remain She stands awaiting their game They come and try blow her over She stands Her eyes dead set She will conquer She will not fall They claw at her being She stands They whisper wishes of death She stands She stands Something she hasn't yet won But she stands How long has it been old friend She snarls THey giggle Its over
