by Shadow Dancer - Aquarius

The eve of dawn is nearing, 
as shadows are all around.
Everything I'm fearing
 is rotting on the ground. 
My nights were once my captor, 
my dreams my biggest fear. 
 And everything thereafter,
 were screams I couldn't hear. 
 But now all is silent,
 as I stand here wondering how -
 my life was once so violent, 
but all is quiet now. 
For years I ran from rage, 
pretending it wasn't real. 
My emotions trapped in a cage 
and stamped with an iron seal. 
Now the lock is broken, 
so I can see the light. 
My feelings have finally spoken 
and I no longer fear the night. 
I see the sun is rising
 on the exterior as well as in. 
The calmness is surprising 
and my life can now begin.
