The Realization
As days and nights pass
 It seems that mine don’t go as fast
 I sit in the darkness while my heartaches 
 With everything in my life that’s at stake  
 When I’m in the darkness I feel alive 
 When I’m out in the world I feel like a ghost
 Just standing there 
 Watching the world pass me by
 In the darkness I’m visible
 
 Oppose to not being in it and being 
 Invisible
 Remembering the time blood ran down my arm 
 I did myself so much harm
 Here sitting on the far corner of my bed
 
 My window wide open 
 I’m staring out at my shed 
 Hearing the whispers of the night 
 I feel safe 
 I feel free
 I am me
 Here and only here 
 This is the only place where I truly find myself at peace
 I am comforted by the chills that run down my back
 Thinking of it as hug from those who have passed
 And the whispers are telling me that it’s all right
  Giving me a shoulder to cry on 
 This is my happy place 
 And soon it will be taken away 
 So far nothing beats it 
 Out in the world I am misunderstood 
 Here I am the one who makes the most sense
 Here I am not bullied by those in my presence
 Here I am treated like a queen
 So why can’t the world realize and accept me as a
 Human being
