Nightmare
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
