Screams in the night

Clinging to tear soaked pillows
clenched to my head to still the screams
scratching around this mental prison, a prism of the schisms of the minds bad dreams

ill minds lie awake, under dim electric light
the halls erupt, corroded thoughts swarm the corridors as screams fill the night

The sound of a million shutters dropping, the noise of a thousand breakdowns
the commotion of a brain in an explosive flood of thoughts, sent to make it drown
wails of the unwell, frail inmates of this unlocked holding cell
screeches of terror, trying to flee the night fevers, the screams of the night demons
the growl of hell, in this place that's supposed to make you feel well

I clench my teeth against the noise
sounds like a hive of bees, or swarming wasps sent to destroy
the agony of a mind in fight, in flight, away surfing in the darkening seas
the halls alive in the dead of night, it thrives on the unease
the screams in the night, a noise that I'll never forget
the sounds of hell, of a terror filled cold sweat

The screams in the night
those sounds that haunt, they taunt, shouting until first light
as another mind cracks under the strain
of bad thoughts flooding the twilight escape of their brains
The strains of a lullaby, stains the brain, it will never leave, so unkind
a nursery rhyme, told with different lines, a torturous refrain trips on the mind
the shouts of the lost, the sobs of the broken, moans fill the cracked hearts
the fears of the night, in tears of fright, the howling starts

As the sun rises, the sound subsides
a calmness fills the halls, a fog of happier vibes
the screams of the night lost in days peaceful light
the shouts forgotten for now, the outlook is bright

Thanks For reading.

Peace & Love.
