Eye's Wide Shut

Her cries of innocence were of no comfort, Encapsulated by every harrowing yet haunting vision. It was clear that as this dream progressed and carried her along, She was screaming for the return of her abducted childhood. Peering down upon herself, her contorted frame seemed much smaller than it really was. Her body fighting off demons, There is much anger in her flailing about. She was again alone, yet she was melding with those who only faked their Love for her. Her path feels distorted, her perceptions unclear, This a result of unwaivering messages recieved as a child. Of which included... She had no voice, no vote, no say, She had no hope. Shrouded in fearful secrets and often disoriented, She no Longer wishes to remain present in this body. For it will again betray her, as it's done so many times before. How to escape though? There must be a safe place for her to wake up to, A set of warm arms to step into? She is consciously aware that with the flicker of her eye's, A new nightmare will erupt. She call's these her awake nightmare's. More frightening than those when she is fast asleep. For awake, there are all the more monsters she'll be forced to fend off. Torn, she's unsure if it is ever safe to awake from one nightmare to another. WAKE UP! WAKE UP! Don't you know by now that you can run but you can never hide?
