Sanities Keys

A.W. NUTTER

The night breeze taunts pitiful pleas

An insane child, grasping for sanities keys 

Unlocking the chambers of an adult mind

Will the doctor believe the horrors he finds

Discovering, what I am willing to share

Searching for the truth pretending to care

Child’s voice screams, telling is forbidden

Punishments are severe, must remain hidden

Secrets buried in darkness, out of the light

 Childhood traumas must be kept out of sight

Truth, about the past was never a choice

Unable to ignore my tortured child's voice 

Nightmares from the past will remain sealed

 Only speaking of horrors which can be revealed

Eye's closed tightly as I shed the false tears

Telling my life story, he believes I'm sincere 

The internal suffering never goes away

Afraid of the dark, praying for the next day

Demons running rampant, nightmares in place 

Pain and suffering, my inheritance to embrace
