A nightmare resurfaced

walk the nightmarish room devoid of smiles
Teetering between the ghouls that paint from them
Pictures so clearly I wake in a sweat
To see the face before mine
Utterly terrified of what his hands are gonna do
I cry for Mama, all in vain
To find some escape out of the clutches
But instead I am ushered into windowless crevices
Longing for a sweet release
The cure to this hellish dream
Where I am the one that loses all
And I am forsaken by all
Inside the dungeon I call my mind
It plays me false
I told you that I needed it buried
So why are you not?
I can not bear the rapping at my brain
Burning coldness all through my nimble bones
My eyes speak as if propelled by insane monkeys
And I’ve wished all these years
It cripples my person
And I hoped feverishly to awaken to a bright reality
So I can soundly sleep amongst the angels
And yet I am tormented with whisperings 
That I never had the strength to fly from
My body shakes continuously
Eyelids are dried to bits from memories
And you, you remain unmoved
While I am deemed to forever be in chains
That were never of my making
And so utterly hate you forever
And hope you burn for this in the hottest fire
So I can have some relief once and for all.
