An Unexplainable Feeling

Through my eyes
there comes a light
but it's too bright
its blocking my sight
Just then something grabs me tight
I've felt this feeling hundreds of times
I try to break free from it's grip
But it holds on to me with all it's might

something's crawling inside
sending chills down my spine
something's on my neckline
crawling slowly, I can't define
I take a deap breath, tell myself it's fine
It's just a feeling, it'll go away in some time
But is it all inside my head?
I ask myself as I get up from bed

I can still feel it around
But I can't see, my vision's blocked out
I blink and blink but there's only darkness
I try to escape from  north and south
I see a light in a distance, not too far
I chase it hoping I'd make it out
But something grabs me from behind
Drags me into the darkness as i shout

And when my screams fade away
I wake up in a sea as deep as an abyss
There's waves forming, one by one
that slowly flow out of my eyes
those waves are tears trickling down my cheeks
Rolling on my face until they fall on my knees
It's an unexplainable feeling like a fever dream
But it feels so real, I want to scream

My heart is storing up all these feelings 
Until, eventually they'll bleed out through the cracks 
Like ink bleeding on a paper through pen
Still, to convey this feeling, my wording lacks
I don't know the cause, don't know the reason
All I know is that I feel like I'm stuck in a prison
Trying to break free and fly away somewhere far
But my feet are chained to a metal bar

I'll appreciate a little help
but there's none around me
to help me destroy the chains
To the darkness,that are binding me
The darkness's my past calling my name
But there's None to lend me their hand
So I'm struggling on my own, in pain
trying to keep myself sane

Just like how it has always been
I'm alone, it's such a frightening scene
It's so dark that nothing can be seen
don't even know where i lean
but filled with hope or perhaps desperation
I rub my eyes in search of light
But inside my heart, feels like something has died
inside my heart, it feels like something has died
