I Am Human

I Am Human My eyes shut for another night Images flow across my eyes Barely shadows they float by Some grey clouds on the horizon Birds fly by going nowhere A stagnant lake lies before me Not a single wave or ripple The birds swoop and die before me Dragons and demons tear the world apart Leaving me in a world of complete dark Screams of pain and terror They fill the early moments of sleep Somewhere pleasure comes from the suffering I want to open my eyes The terror holds them shut Not allowing me a chance to escape I can feel them tearing into my mind I don't care what they do me The world is one of my design Scary and deadly to others It is my home It is where I choose to be Alone and fighting an unseen enemy Yet, knowing that I am immortal I am a god in my world The all powerful god of the underworld I will reign until the sun rises so far away And I change into a mortal human With of their faults and foibles I am human
