This Isn'T An Ordinary Joke

Don't take this as an ordinary joke

While I was in the middle of an
Enchanting dream,
You blew my pathetic mind 
I tried to sharpen my senses
Shadows were encircling my eager soul
Rising from dimming skies
Chasing after the friendly pleas 
Thrown down the rocky, bulky cliffs
Without any permission
I get ensnared by your clashing claws
THEN..you ask me if I could take this mission  
I marvel in your pathetic presence  
It detects all my shivers...smelling my abominable fears
I shutter at your echoed, harsh voice, I push myself against the fence
How can you hear my cries with your unmerciful ears?
You aren't attractive...but intuitive, picking up my untreated mindset
Abashed by realization
Mesmerized in dark times 
Feeling a sense of sanctuary
A suitable solitude separating us,
Life-giving with plenty of shelter hidden beneath a hideous, monstrous night
You are intuitive, picking up my untreated mind
But, you are just a living nightmare 
Daring to torment me in devouring fire 
Could I complete this mission with 
so little faith and strength?
Shut down the engine
Piece all my disoriented fears
Gaining rejection...left spineless  
Where will this trail lead me to?
There's no room for hope, but dread instead!
Where's my head!? Why are you laughing at me?
Why are you walking away?
Is it because I'm revolting or am I a loser?
I muse about my future and tread the road of recovery
I'm trying to forget my previous misery...
Don't pity me - I'm in this horrifying dream
I just wanna scream - why do you take this as an ordinary joke?
Why do you like to provoke me to anger?
That's not how I role! I ain't full of it!
Maybe you're the one full of **** in your own poverty pit!
Taunted by you!
Haunted by doom...
My body freezes by the minute
Trampled down by mere fear
Hopeless as a sacrificed deer
Please help me Lord...(oh dear! x2)
I'm chasing my ambitions ahead of me
Please help me catch up Lord...(I fear! x2)
I won't be able to break away!Oh no! 
Now I'm screaming spine-chillingly!
But...I don't have a spine... AHHHHH!!!  
I'm very disturbed by these neverending nightmares
The ugliness of it all broke countless mirrors
I'm Left for dead in your tracks
My flesh is torn between your clashing claws
The rest of my body -- holding on to the edge of the cliff
I was hunted down, used for only one reason and one reason only: 
To take your prey's meat and eat it all up during dinner hours
I cringe...I back away...I cower in shame!

I pray you won't take this as an ordinary joke!
