Your Name Is Misery

Your name is misery here to haunt me in my dreams In my waking hours and in my sleep Nightmares and worst fears of course you can make them come true For Your Name Is Misery You are the demon That called himself a dad You are my illness, my shame, guilt and pain I cannot shake you I try to run but you always catch me I try to hide and you find me Your Name Is Misery You are the cause of my pain I used to blame myself But lately I have found I am not the one to blame I was a child Innocent and helpless when you took my dignity, my life my sanity Your Name Is Misery You have presented yourself in many forms The school counselor who tried to violate me The Father figure who molested me The strangers who forced themselves on me A gang paid to rape me A Fiance who beat me And killed the child inside me The voices that torment me Your Name Is Misery You have so many faces It would take my whole life to paint a picture of you And quite frankly I don't want to waste my time on you I just want to forget you Your Name Is Misery I wish I could get away from you Break away from your grasp Take away the control you have over me I hate being under your spell I hate the pain you constantly cause me I hate crying because of you I hate the darkness you bring with you Most of all I hate you Your Name is Misery That is no lie There is no mistake You bring havoc, drama, and chaos All the things I despise I don't want you near me I don't even want to look you in the eye Your Name is Misery I am afraid of you I can't stand you most of all I am mad at you for you have made my life a living hell But no more I am cutting you out I have never wanted you around It is high time I got rid of you It's time to stand my ground I am going to take you down I don't need you I never want to see you Get out of my life For I am not going to let you bring me down You are not welcome here Your Name Is Misery By: Jean Shular
