Locked Doors

My heart pounded with a sense of dread. Fear crept into my body. Monsters and rose bushes circled me, gripping to the point of destruction. Why won't my nightmares ever end? Why do they plague me with never ending fear and Why am I not in control of the things that occur in my head, day after day? will I feel alive when will this end, as a hand grabbed my ankle and screams at me and says don't go! I said if you follow me you will get lost, I am lost in time and I can't get out this time I'm and always lost. I can't be guided. The world is a maze and I'm at a dead end. The door is locked, the key missing. I am just a misguided ghost with no roads, yet I am followed. No doors, but i have a key. No walls, and I continue to travel endlessly. The world is a blank slate and I don't have the chalk to write my path. So I lay here, feeling the tears seep down my cheeks, cold glass orbs. My heart drops. I'm forever gone. Now the windows cover in dust, and the doors remain locked.
