Unhinged

There is no one to keep me sane
When hellish dreams attack my brain.
Inside myself, where I can see
Fresh horrors waiting there for me.
I do not want to go to sleep,
For in my mind dwell demons deep.
I shake and yell, and plead and scream,
But no one helps me in my dream.
I’m all alone, with blackness round.
I cannot hear a single sound.
But beings dark, and full of hate,
Press on me with a heavy weight.
Within the confines of my mind,
No rest or freedom can I find.
I do not have the time or chance
To come out of that horrid trance.
I’m trapped within my own despair,
And only madness lingers there.
Amid the dark and dreary sight,
I wander aimlessly in fright.
I stumble down and nearly fall.
I cannot see the floor at all.
And deep within that horrid hell,
They whisper lies that they would tell.
I run in panicked jumbled fear,
But no one dares to help me here.
I cannot wake, and so I run,
While knowing soon I’ll be undone.
There is no one to keep me sane
When hellish dreams attack my brain.
