Infected Dreams

All the things that keep me up at night,
All the things that just aren't right.

Infected dreams that will never end,
A broken heart that will not mend.

Secrets that go untold,
Watching my sad life unfold.

Not sure what to do,
Because nothing I do is true.

I am living a lie,
Wishing to myself to die.

My dreams are infected by my worst fears,
And my face is stained with my tears.

So I am up all night long,
Because honestly I don't belong.

I don't belong living a life that's been through hell,
My life is just an empty shell...

Of someone infected by her dreams.

This sounds so much like my life.
Shame we have to go thru it.
Well done.
