I do not believe in God
Nor do I believe in Christ
I do believe in a superior being
That protects me through the night...
I can feel the presence surround me
In every corner of the room
To keep the demons that plague me
From taking over all too soon...
I feel cool lips caressing
The tears that flood my cheeks
Trying to pull me from myself
Imprisioned in my sleep...
Gentle hands try to comfort me
Arms hold me against a solid chest
Protecting me as I battle within
Willing me to rest...
I am a worthy opponent
There's no other stronger than myself
And to battle within my own mind
The victor is so hard to tell...
As the battle of the night
Finally comes to a bitter end
I cling to the frayed ends of sanity
As the new day begins...
I cling to a feeling
Of a protector I can't see
I want to thank you for trying to protect me from myself
My ONLY enemy...is ME.
