I really want to escape
to be free from the demons in my head
to fly free in the clouds
to float weightlessly
to close my eyes and sleep peacefully
I'm tired of
facing the same nightmare
over and over
again and again
never knowing when the torture ends.
being in the unknown
that itself
is torture.
being tied down
by pain
is torture.
being lost
in a sea of thoughts
is torture.
being pushed into
the deep end of the pool
is torture.
being thrown
into complete darkness
is torture.
being alone
with your own thoughts
is torture.
and there's no way I can escape this torture is there?
because this pain, this hurt, this nightmare
has been with me for so long
it's now my shadow.
its visible in the light
but though not visible in the dark
it's still there
somehow.
and shadows
they don't leave you, do they?
they are always there
somewhere, somehow
whether you know it or not.
nightmares are like shadows
they dont leave.
they are here to stay.
to haunt you
in your dreams.
