Lay Me DownA Poem by JillyBeanAnother old one. This one is kind of odd, considering it is inspired by the 18th century children's prayer.Now I lay me down to sleep, I hope my secrets you will keep. The broken glass, my broken home My demons won't leave me alone. Daddy won't call, he is dead Momma stabbed him in the head. The scream I hear fills my ear I've got to run away from here. Let me die before I wake There's not much more that I can take. I hold this gun in my hand I'm sure the world will understand. I hold the barrel against my head Pull the trigger and boom, I'm dead. The blood and gore drips on the floor. The pain tells me I'm alive once more. Now I lay me down to sleep I hope my secrets you will keep. I will die before I wake Now there's nothing more to take. © 2011 JillyBeanAuthor's Note
