To be trapped in darkness
Locked away into a nightmare
that seems to go on and on for an eternity
..............................Is not a way to live
I dream of my loneliness devouring me into
my own self-torment
A torment which I try to escape with all my might
The feeling of creatures pulling at your limbs
with blank faces of emptiness
...........................................{Disavowed cringed things that they are}
Tearing at your skin...till no blood drains
from your worthless wondering soul
Drip
Drip Drip
Drip
Drip
Screams, of your past
hallowing at your ears
Where the silence is bearing and taunting
your ever waking movement
of trying to escape
While your eyes burn
from the hatred you felt towards others
As they laughed and talked behind your back
All I ever wanted was peace
but now all I know of is pain....
The venomous pain that lurks
through my veins like acid
And all that I've asked of myself is..........
Why haven't I woken up yet?

This was pretty personally intense. Sometimes it is hard to escape a nightmare. Things us humans do to each other leave destructive tears on our hearts and souls...and to think we don't think twice or give it another thought after we wound someone in that way...because it is forever. I like the drip drip drip part that was kool too. Congratulations on your gold.
