Misery Knows My Name. Poem by Edwin Yeboah

Hmm...she knows my name, Misery, she knows my name
I wish it was just some twisted game she's been playing
But no! I wasn't meant to be so lucky
Not when I'm the one she's been aiming
But then again in her smile I find some peace and belief
In her arms the world shuts down for a while
Then my heart she breaks and my hopes she shatters
But my dreams, my dreams she cannot touch
My dreams, she fears because inspite of her sinuous best efforts
They still keep me fighting and smiling through the torment
A smile that tortures my evil mistress just as much as she does me
Because she knows that my hopes can never really be shattered
Not when I still dare to dream
She knows she can never break every piece of my heart
Not when I still dream of a love
Maybe one day I'll dream of an escape from my sadistic mistress
Dream of a world where I still had my innocence and naivety
But alas! A dream is just that, a dream
And she still knows my name, Misery, she knows my name
