Imprisoned

If I told you I fear no man 

would you believe nothing of this world could ever harm me

Only the confines of my mind 

Possessing my greatest demons 

Locked within cages that opening nightly 

Attacking when your breath slows as your eyes close

Facing your fears may cure doubt and hesitation 

But truly it's a defense against the darkest arts

Within us all are beings laced within a poisonous skin 

Only harmful to us 

These demons creep through our dreams 

And shift them 

Morphing them into mirrors 

Nightmares 

I am pained in that I can't escape the trap I've created for myself 

These beings are us 

They are you 

They can't be stopped 

Burning holes through our positivity 

Through our happiness 

I've banished myself to Aksban 

And healing light of the sun is the only key 

To my self imposed confinement
