Dying

I have this reoccurring nightmare
it begins with me being strapped to a chair
I try to escape but I'm fastened tight
Fear grows, something's not right
A laugh and my chest caves
I realize that I'm just a slave
A masked figure comes into view
And then I'm killed without further ado

I wake up in the morning as if it were a bad dream
but then a blood curdling thought makes me scream
I knew the masked figure, a familiar stranger
I bolt upright just to come face to face with her
With an emotionless grin
she lifts her chin
her face lifts, I shudder to ask
but it's me underneath that mask
