Nightmare
Dark
shapes
twist and
crawl in the
corners of my
mind. Silent
whispers fill
the air, cold
and choking.
A breath
catches, then
slips away as
I reach for the
light that’s too
far to touch.
Eyes watch
from the
depths of the
void. I can’t
move, can’t
scream. I'm
trapped inside
the suffocating
storm of my
own fear, lost
in a place where
shadows never
leave and hope
fades to dark.
