The night I conquered loneliness

Dark was the night,
That preceded my day
Dead was the illusion,
Next to me on the empty pillow
It kept hunting me all night
The illusion that robbed me of my dreams
And everything hurt
And the thought occurred,
That this could be much better
That I could still think such a thing
The night I conquered loneliness

34 Sheep,
went passed my bedside,
You dream too many dreams,
But you forget where you are right now
How will you ever get further, if you keep
Denying in the past

And everything turned black
From the safety that was missing in my heart
That was what it started,
The night I conquered loneliness

Look, here, at my new me,
Radiant in the morning light
But still wobbly from the fall
And the climbing out the valley
With dark eyes on my face
Where the curtain fell
Full of fantasies
In a endless struggle
I conquer phobic
Pride versus reality
But If I don't like this,
I cannot accept this reality
And can't have my victory,
Where will I, then, be?

Dark was the night that preceded
Today.
Gone was the brick,
That had become too heavy in my stomach
And everything turned into light
That I could hear, smell and see,
Even with my eyes closed!!
For the first time I could see
The sun,
After the night
I conquered loneliness
