Blank walls and dark skies
They stair back at me
They seem to mock my efforts
They laugh as I fail again and again
My mind races as I struggle on
Why can't I find you?
Sweet dreams or nightmares
Waking world or land of slumber
They seem to blur together
The edges fade to nothing
I stare at the wall
As waking nightmares fill my mind
Creatures climb from the darkness
And croutch just before the light
Their eyes glint red
Death seems written in their stares
I can hear their teeth nash as the snap their ugly jaws
The demons that haunt my soul
And slowly tear me apart
Arresting sleep before it can grant me its sweet relief
So I lay and ignore what I know must be false
But yet my mind yells at me to run from the monsters
And yet again my mind blurs reality and imagination
And yet again im forced to wade these
Waking nightmares
