Nightmare

Bad dreams fill my head, worse I've ever had
full of hate, rage fuelled days of past, times when life was bad
try to wake, the monsters wont allow
their claws grip, blood drips, they contain me, stuck now

This vision of horror, filled with people I don't want around
judgemental, criticising they try to grind me down
the despise me, they lie to me, laugh in my face, try to provoke fear
I crumble, ground up, wound up, I stumble, hope the end is near

The night terror takes hold, like a roller coaster out of control
have to ride it, let go.fly through it, take the jabs, try not to fall
as the memories flicker, I shiver, a sense of terror envelops
I sweat, toss and turn as the dream develops

The ground holds me firmly in place, nowhere to escape
this is some thing i must face, no hiding in this dream scape
have to witness every scare
feel every attack as my heart starts to tear, here deep in its lair

The beast now loose and free, stalks around me
like a cat tormenting a mouse, he circles, I struggle to see
as he rushes in for a final assault, a scream starts to break free
see his face, his eyes, as clear as day, the beast is me

Thanks for reading.
Kyle.
