Description When I’m in bed at night
Who can hear me fight
These emotions held up tight
When darkness falls from light

I don’t know if the future’s bright
Because I don’t know if I’m ever right

When I’m screaming for you to speak
When I’m sobbing because I’m so weak
When I look into the eyes of my freak
I know darkness is at its peak

Help please, help me please
Is the only way to escape the ice
To let yourself freeze?

Many times more than thrice
Has paranoia held me in His vice
Up rose the snakes and in came the lice
Sickly fear comes to entice

What’s the point in pretending its nice
When my sanity has become the price
What’s the point in pretending it’s nice
When it’s like playing with glass dice

I toss and turn
Hopes and truths burn
My stomach begins to churn
Because I know I will never learn

What’s the point in pretending it’s nice
When my sanity has become the price?

Nice
Price
Nice
Dice
Nice
Vice

Sick Worry sails with darkness at the prow
There’s no one here to protect me now
Please someone tell me how
I can wipe these villains from my brow

What’s the point in fighting
When I know there’s no enlightening
The horizon is not yet brightening
The journey to sleep is more than frightening
It’s terrifying

What’s the point in praying
When I can hear something saying
Stop this mindless playing
Your defences are fraying

What’s the point in pretending it’s ok
When all you want it to do is go away
What’s the point in pretending that it’s so nice
When my precious sanity is the price
My precious sanity
Is fighting my depraved insanity
As we speak
Help me
For I am weak
And I can hear someone saying
My defences are fraying

I really like this one.
The rhyme scheme is very interesting and different from most others. It's very unique~

Gods light shines into the darkest heart
brings to safety in every part
yield to the call of His promised embrace
for there is no safer place
cling fast and hard to Him
He will see to your thoughts so grim
soothe the furrowed brow
place God at the Prow
Let Him steer, He knows the way
my prayer for you, I humbly convey.

My God is my Love
To Him I'll remain ever loyal
I'll be his pure white dove
When dark waters begin to boil
No other shall I worship
I'm clothed in our relationship
Lowly priestess
In his eyes a princess
And his fair bride
With whom darkness would never collide
