Nightmares in my sleep,
Nothing to do than to wake up and take a
deep breathe.
My ways are full of trouble,
And his presence too makes me terrible.


Something is coming near.
Looking back to see was my worst enemy closer to my ear.
Thinking of a way to run,
He grabbed me as if we were having fun.


I'm always afraid when it's getting dark.
That bad creature wanting to pounce on my back.
My spirit tells me to be strong,
Whenever there's something wrong.


I imagined killing my enemy,
But cried loud when he chased my destiny.
Indeed! A hard time for me! - ain't giving up.
Surely, and when I overcome, the weakness, failures, fears, would turn a brightening lamp.
