Journey Through the Nightmare

I took a walk on a midnight road, to search for that which was yet untold My quest was one of question, to find meaning to my mind's night action To the dream world state, where I left through reality's gate And set out along my mind's path, blindly into the void's wrath At first, total darkness, then swirling figures appeared as serpents They contorted and writhed, first slow and then swift Right before they wrapped themselves around me, I detected a shift in the scenery I was transported, to a field that was distorted It quickly became cold, and the whispering darkness told me my soul had been sold I cursed my rotten luck, I was not made for this, I suck I should have stayed inside, it's a shame that I even tried Why couldn't I be like regular people, who don't interfere with evil Why couldn't I be caught up in distractions, instead of plagued by all these questions But I could not turn back now, so I continued somehow Proceeding through the storm, that was beginning to take form Before my eyes I saw its mass, a seemingly impenetrable impasse Ominously dark, I decided to watch it from a lonely park I sat down on the nearest bench, when I was struck by an awful stench On the floor next to me, was a decomposing body It's face was being eaten by maggots, a feast on its putrid guts But upon further inspection, the body was my own reflection This was a shocking realization, and I decided to abandon My post, for I was afraid that I would become the next host For the maggots to lay, therefore I would not stay I ran from the park, into the night's pitch black dark I encountered many figures along the way, who whispered to me to say Come play with us, but they were too suspicious I ran and ran, and came to a madman He chased me with an axe, trying to add me to his body stacks But catch me he did not, for I was not In the mood to die that night, instead I would chase the light That appeared at the end of the street, which is how I would beat All the monsters that were chasing me, on their unholy killing spree I reached the end, but was stopped by a bend In the space-time of my mind, that I could not unwind And I realized I was in a nightmare, which was the reason for my scare I hastily woke up, and began to develop Writing down what I had seen, but I could not reconvene All of the characters in the play, that my mind had that day They were too insidious, destined for the trans-dimensional vortex Of the subconscious mind, which would be unlocked in due time
