The Voice In the Night

The Voice in the Night Endless desperation, she cries through the night Has she lost this battle, without a fight? Thunder rattles the windows, a deafening roar Who is knocking upon her door? She peeps through the hole, cautiously No one is there, that she can see Voices in her head will not go away “I have come for you, your soul to take!” Hiding in the closet, shaking like a leaf A voice states firmly, “This is your destiny!” “Please, not now, just go away!” She begs for mercy, “Give me one more day?” “One more day,” Ha, an atrocious laugh “You are not worthy, you can’t have that.” Crying and pleading, begging in fear “GOD, can you help me? I need you here” In that instant, she awakes from her dream Filled with fear, with a sigh of relief A promise she makes to God “I will change my life.” “I hope I never again hear, the voice in the night.”
