Point of Conviction

I lie in bed awake as the darkness over takes
a prisoner it seems stuck in a bad dream
it's not just some mistake it's my resting
place, a break from something real to all this
pain I feel.
Words are not enough to tell you how I feel.
the way the pain beats and i can not break free. 
I find I'm not that strong, strong
enough to be alone.
I can't seem to find my way to get through
this.
Dwelling in my shame, I'm the only one to
blame,this truth I dare not hide because it's
burning me alive.
This pain deep within me has caused me to
see.
This hate I have inside has only left me BLIND!
