I, Zombie, Part Vii: the Healing

Fighting hard to heal To care, love again, to feel Here in hospital Here where you put me While I live in fantasy With Daemons dancing Dancing in my head Mind racing with the devil The Monster’s evil Time in here drags on But short is the time with you The moments are few Only one hour To visit one another Chance to feel normal For the time being While you smile and share with me The Monster takes sleep But when it awakes My mind and spirit it takes But it cannot keep Don’t want you to go I’m here to get help I know Though it may not show Crying night and day Trying to sleep missing you In my heart you stay Soon I will be well I’ll get my life back again My escape from hell Recognize its face When my mind feels out of place And crazy thoughts race When courage has fled When comes the feeling of dread Thoughts I should be dead I’ll take all my meds And therapy for my head Do what doctor said Monster’s appealing A death blow I’ll be dealing The Daemon’s squealing The Daemon’s in chains The Monster’s back in his cage They both cry and rage Doppelganger gone I'm no longer the Zombie Yes, my mind is free On the floor kneeling Against the storm I’m stealing The bells are peeling Though my mind’s reeling Now I know what I’m feeling It is the healing…
