Restless Night

Pacing through the hall
scratching at my face
Trying to force thoughts
into a happy place

Failing to believe
that I could ever achieve
what I want in life
and who I want to be

Running fingers through my hair
wishing I was there by your side
Finally able to feel
Finally feeling alive		

I keep it all inside
the demons that haunt me everyday
No matter how hard I try,
they never go away
