Shadows passing over walls.
They dance just like the nightmares did.
I hide under my blankets,
Scared of the darkness like a little kid.
Maybe that's ok
If I'm not as brave as some.
I'm not a hero in a story,
I've got no battles to be won.
A little fight inside my head,
A rebellion in my mind.
Taking control of my heart,
A cause like this is hard to find.
Striving for eternal peace,
Heading towards the light.
Blocking out the evil things,
Trying to do right.
Put on the sweetest lullaby,
And turn the nightlight on,
In the morning, when I wake,
The shadows will be gone.
