I had a lavish life in the heavens
But then suddenly it all disappeared
I was thrust into a world of darkness
Everything was blurry
Loud shouts came from all directions
I was too scared to do anything
But scream and cry
Many tried to comfort me
Sometimes it was enough for me to pretend
I was back in the heavens
There is two people that make me feel like
I'm back
They are called mom and dad
Something about them that fills me with a feeling
That feels almost better the heavens itself
But even withs it's comforts this place is terrifying
I am plagued with dark dreams of the terrors i see
That weren't in my heaven
The dark chambers I was confined to for
Many months before being let out
Restricting diapers
Tall barriers
Terrible aches
The ache of my heaven disappearing
Is enough to make me scream
Such a beautiful place it was
But then a hideous creature
Stole me away in the night
It dropped me from the edges of the sky
Into a repulsive prison
Into a place full of liquid
There is no light
No air
Instead of joyous sweet sounds
Loud ones
Not quite as sweet as the sounds of heaven
My mothers voice is one I heard most often
Soft, low, comforting
Her voice kept me from going insane
22 months since the creature dropped me from my old home
I still see it's horrid features in my dreams
Dark red eyes on a gaping void of black.
Bony fingers the picture of death
Looking into his eyes would be to see
Thousands of horrors
All at once
Horrors
The leave me screaming
In the dead of the night
No way to comfort me
Simply trapped
In the terrors of my dreams
In the terrors of a new world
