The Nightmare of Reality -Part 3-

SUFFER! I am not afraid of you, Nobody LEAVE HIM ALONE! You are afraid of what I’ll do to him. . . Nobody. . .stop He’s everything The only I love you LIES Croaking, splitting Gnashing, spitting How am I still alive? Watch him cry. . .WATCH HIM DIE. . . Give him up and leave us to agony Agony. . . Keep him alive and I will eventually die Blink – One, two, three four There’s no escape GIVE HIM MORE! Shrieking, creeping Aching, LAUGHING Nobody likes me Wake me up—I’M BURNING UP! And the killer’s left to guide me TURN AROUND. . .LOOK BEHIND YOU! Her faceless, raw, noseless features right in my face Crawling nearer and nearer YOU’VE KILLED THEM ALL SO NOW THEY CAN DESTROY ME! ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE NOBODY NOW? I am nobody—I am empty YOU LEFT ME NOTHING AND GAVE ME ENEMIES!!! DEMONS! DEMONS!! DEMONS!!! DEMONS!!!! GET OUT OF THEM!!!!! Wake me from this Nightmare of Reality Nobody says you’re staying forever UNTIL YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO WAKE DEMONS!!!! DEMONS!!!!! DEMONS!!!!!! I smell them. . .I feel them. . .I taste them UNTIL YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO WAKE Demons! Fiends! I hear them. . . UNTIL YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO WAKE WHY!!!!!? ANSWER ME!! KUT ME! GRIND ME! END ME!!!!! She has waken from this nightmare . . . Nobody will miss her

Laura, it feels as though you have channeled an ancient crime, a primordial truth with this uncontestable masterpiece - there is always a price to pay, especially for one's awakening - you just joined my list of rare and amazing Poetesses - with respect - J.A.B. %

Well--I can sense fear during the sleep phase, but like a dream, not everything makes perfect sense to me, but I do get "nobody" will miss her--I think that is very funny. You are reaching into an unusual space to get these great ideas, and I love it. Hey--thanks for your comments today. Wow--I am nowhere as productive as you. I hope to read much more. You have welcomed me into this space, and I appreciate it. Will nobody miss me when I leave? I am making a fool of myself.
