Darkness: Part One
Based off a reoccurring dream/nightmare that I have semi-often

Darkness
A shaded mist all around me
Laughter…menacing and taunting
my heart races
sweat falls down my face
I know this place
I know it all too well
He is here…
I can sense him
I can feel him
laughter
laughter
laughter…
He’s here
behind me
in front of me
he wants me
he wants my mind
he want to become me
I can’t
I can’t let him
I can’t
I can’t fight him
Help…someone help me
someone let me out
wake me
help
please help me
no one can help you
no one can save you
you are mine
more laughter
more taunting
stop it!
stop it!
never, you’re mine!
you belong to me
always mine!
you’ll never escape
NO! I don’t want this
Go away! I don’t want this
…
screaming
screaming…from me
I am screaming
my mind my veins are on fire
he’s doing this
he’s trying to control me
NO! NO!
You can’t have me!
Leave me alone!
Never! Never!
You are mine
MINE!
I will own you
I will control you!
Don’t fight it
You can’t fight it
You’ll lose
No…no I can’t
I can’t
Just go away
more laughter
and more
and more
he mocks me
he mocks my fear
face appear around me
haunting evil faces
all laughing and screaming at me
I can’t run I can’t hide
STOP!
I close my eyes but it is no use
he’s in my mind already
I still see the faces
I hear the laughter
I hear the screaming
whispering now
there’s whispering
you are mine
you are mine
you are mine
No…no…no
I can’t
I can’t
GO AWAY
tears…fall from my eyes
he laughs more
he’s gaining strength
from my fear…
he laughs more
I can’t stand this
I try to swat away the faces
block out the noise
but to no avail
I am moving around
lost inside my own mind
tortured by my own mind
I can’t I can’t
I can’t get out
where am I now?
Who am I now?
laughter
more laughter
screams
more screams
the faces change
they become more menacing
scarier…their screaming and laughing louder
You belong to us
you belong to us
you belong to us
you belong to us
you belong to us
over and over and over again
repeating louder and louder
until they’re shouting
my heart is ready to burst
I cannot breathe
I cannot scream
please leave me alone
I cry more
these blasted tears feeding them
helping them to grow
Go away!
Just go away!
