Maybe they'll just take me away.

I don't remember ever having dreams
I've had plenty of nightmares
Repetitive nightmares
Apparently my mind is trying to tell me something
That's usually what repetitive nightmares are
Your mind trying to get a point across
In a very difficult way I might add
Ever since I was a kid,
As little as seven
I've had this nightmare
It follows me everywhere
A shadow that always follows the body
Just like death
It will probably be on permanent display in my head until the day I die
Or until I figure out what it means
There must be something that lies under the surface
Something more to it
That I'm just not seeing
Contemplating telling someone
No.
They'll think I'm crazy
I belong in a mental hospital
I know that
I hear voices telling me to do things
I have the worst nightmares
Demons that haunt me in the dark
But I can't go there
I'm scared,
I'll lose in the war against myself.
I'll have more time to think there
I'll lose my mind
Maybe I'm just haunted by my inner demons
Maybe they'll just take me away
Well here's to hoping
