Secrets awake in the frightening dark.
No one is by my side as I am exposed as being a hideous creature.
With those evil smirks they terrorize, ridicule, destroy me.
There is no sound I can muster, no way I can try to deny it all.
All my hopes have disappeared because of my treacherous decision.
Hatred, anguish, pain are all directed in my path as my fate is out in the open, for all those to see.
BINGGGGGGGGGGG!
The alarm clock awakens me from all cruelty and regret.
As the moisture drips off of my skin, the clock ticks off my remaining time.
I feel terrified; reality is grander than a nightmare… With so much affliction, a scream finally sets free aloud.

It is in dreams we see what we really are, a view to our souls. You've done this here wonderfully. And I thank you for your entry, your metaphors are perfect.
