Running from a lost dream
A memory that may come true
Horrors that could become reality
Nightmares of my former self
For its lurking there
Lurking just below the surface
Waiting for a free chance
Time to unleash its power
For it to live on others' pain
Feeding on humiliation
And lost dignity
Thriving on the hell it produced
Straining against the chains
Longing to break the wall
The wall build to restrain it
To block it out
Lusting to break away
From my restraints
Built to protect others
Built to protect me
