Clicks

Hypnotized by the clicks
And soothed into sleep
I wish this dream would end
This nightmare has begun my hate
And leaves no room for sanity
Lurking always out of sight
Running from demons that aren't even mine 
Screaming for someone to hear me
Waking eventually only to find
My monsters are actually real
Living outside my mind
In sunlight
Shadows chasing
Faster faster
Never outrunning this fear
Captured and tortured
And eventually devoured

Yikes! Eckho, this is a very thought-provoking write. To me it depicts an mega-existential crisis. The word "clicks" brings to mind computers, but also the movies Mimic, Predator and A Quite Place. I'm coming up with all different lines of thought on this one. A Fav for me! Welcome to the Soup! ~Mark
