Nightmares
In the dark of night, when all is still,
The demons come, with claws and teeth to kill.
They chase me down, through endless halls of fear,
And I can't escape, no matter how I steer.
My heart pounds in my chest, my breath is short and quick,
As I run and run, through the shadows thick.
But still they come, with eyes that gleam with hate,
And I know that this time, I won't escape my fate.
I wake up in a sweat, my sheets all soaked with fear,
And I know that once again, my dreams have brought me here.
To this place of pain, where my nightmares reign,
And I can't escape, no matter how I strain.
But still I try, to face the horrors of my mind,
To find the strength to leave my fears behind.
And though it's hard, and though I often fail,
I know that I must keep on, and never let my courage pale.
For in the end, I know that I will find,
The peace and solace that I seek, deep in my mind.
And though the demons come, with claws and teeth to kill,
I know that I will rise again, and face them with my will.
