Nowhere and Everywhere

Numerous nights of waking up in the shakes
nightmares so real they exist even after the dream stops. 
Arms holding onto my collapsed frame
keeping my body still in place, incapable of movement.
Darkest was all that became of my soul
forever in between two places but never in both.

I was a prisoner held captive by my mind
a once forceful kidnapping became a willing victim.
