....

Its dark..
I can see No light..
my heart can feel the fear
even though its already been here.

I am navigating through haunted lanes
and I see 'them' watching me
ready to play hide and seek through my veins..

Run ! Run! I scream aloud
I hear the frightening thunder
and I look up only to see the dark clouds

Hide! Hide!
Again the voices in my head scream
I cocoon myself in a dingy corner
wishing this nightmare was a dream

But they seek me in my bunker
and rejoice in their victory
as I silently succumb and surrender

Memories of attempted escapes come back
everytime I jumped the wall to flee
they got me, followed my track.

They laugh their wicked laugh
and I can feel my ascending rage
I can't handle this no more
that my life is just a bird in their cage

I fear them
I loathe them
They petrify me
They burn a hole through my heart
They take me back to the start
They make me cry
Sometimes, they even make me want to die.

How I hope, this is just a nightmare
and only till my eyes open it will last
Maybe I will never jump the wall..
and run away..
