Nightmare

For a mind deprived of sleep Lets out the things that crawl and creep Things once burried deep inside Can no longer stay and hide Twisting and twineing they eek their way out And find a place to prance about Breathing new life, joy they find Filling the corners of your mind A mind once locked, tidy and tight With visions yearning to see the light Thoughts that ache for a place to live That take much more than they give They etch a path out of their cell So their way they learn well Each time the escape easier will be To set these dark thoughts finally free
