The darkest of night .. how it haunts me.
I wish I was someone who kept on dreaming.

Sleep evades me and laughs..
I wish to lift this spell that someone cast.

I don't understand why my life can't be simple
I'm a simple person right? I'm small and nimble.

How I can't breath when the black closes in..
I wished a million times..
I wasn't in this skin.

I look in the mirror and I hate what I see
Every imperfection pointing straight back at me.

I wish I could be someone I'm not..
Even though in this life and in love..
I've given it all I've got.

Someone tells me what I long to hear ..
Then leaves me in the end
just standing there.

Who am I really .. I don't know?
But the darkness haunts me every where I go.
