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
