Nightmare


Dark and terror all around me He is trying to define my destiny Distributing doubt and anger inside me Taking over my mind and feelings He is tall, his presence overtakes everything His words are an evil lullaby that caresses my dreams into an evil state of trance I have no control, he is the ringmaster of my dreams I want to escape, but his words threaten me He reminds me of the real reason why this is happening He comes from an eternal world in which he rules The journey is like never ending stairs that lead to nowhere I ask him "what do you want from me?" He responds nothing but powerful silence, making the room shatter into pieces of truth He reminds me to not speak, but to Only listen to my heartbeat and seek the truth That reassures me that he -- the mysterious tall creature that crawls in my mind during midnight is here to rescue me from the emotional labyrinth of tragedy That I am trapped in with no way out.
