Walls

these small walls keeping me closed inside
i dont know what is happening
i think my mind is telling me lies

because as i look around in this darkness,people appear
as i try to get closer to these walls
i find out it is just a mirror

a mirror which surrounds all around me
but i feel like people are watching me
i dont know if my mind is playing games
or if im becoming insane or just plain out crazy

im afraid to sleep, i keep one eye open
as i lay down, as i look around 
with my invisible eye

i see people just staring 
i see people just looking 
i see so many things you normally want see

like goblins , skeletons, and other creatures
circling around as i so called slumber
there staring , there observing , there learning me
there foot steps are ringing my ears 
because each step the take  sounds like thunder

but when i open my eyes and stand up
they vanish,
with no clue where they went

I guess this long time spent in this black room
making me loose my mind 
for being so alone,so cold,for just too long

i wish  i can break away from these black walls
