When I lie down at night
and close my eyes
shadows of my life
pass before me
I'm scared to sleep at night
for what I might see
I've seen things I shouldn't have seen
all before I was sixteen
The days are shorter
the nights are getting longer
I can't go on
with this on my mind
God let me be a man
let me sleep for just one night
Nightmares of a city damned
come into my mind
I've lead a loveless life
with nobody but me
am I to blame
for whats happend to me
Father I didn't love you
Mother you left me
like you didn't want me to be
All I want to do
is lie down and close my eyes
and not see the devil
looking back at me
God let me be a man
let me sleep for just one night
All I want to do
is live a life
Without all this pain
In my mind
Let me close my eyes
Let me close my eyes

I would like to translate this poem
shadows of my life pass before me beautiful lines; sometimes we need to live today, for tomorrow, in hopes and dreams, small goals, small accomplishments. The past we cannot change, so why hang ourselves over it. Remember The past is a foreign country, things were done differently there. Make peace with the past, let it be. Your friend Terence.
