Nightmare
I am walking alone in an unknown town
The road is endless and the sand is dark-brown
I can’t move backward
Because some force is attracting me forward
Why am I so powerless? Am I dreaming?
All my clothes are wetted, because I am sweating
Is it a nightmare or is it reality? I can’t decide
I hear some laughter
Coming from afar
I am afraid
I remain speechless
Because my mouth is closed
Though I am still walking,
It seems like I am paralyzed
I want to turn left or right
But the road is straight
It seems like the world is closed on me
Who is going to rescue me?
Who is going to deliver me?
From that no man’s land where I get trapped
