Let Me Sleep

I just want to sleep a little bit longer,
        So that I can feel stronger.
        I just want to rest before the beast conquest.
        He ravaged my body last night,
        Chocked me with an electrical cord,
        While hitting me with the iron board.
        Please, let me just closed my eyes and sleep,
        I want to escape his hell don’t weep.
        Banged my head against the wall,
        Stroke me with his fist I fall.
        Laying here in my blood,
        I want to escape from this thug.
        I want to sleep a little bit longer,
        So I can be tomorrow stronger.
        I will fight then all his demons,
        Speak life over my soul and break his control.
        So, let me sleep, please, do not weep.
        One day I will be free, and live happily.
