Welcome Back

by deeplydesturbed   Jul 1, 2016


"Welcome back to the world
of the un-dead"
She whispered slowly to me
as I lay down my head
How can I be back?
"It's easy my dear!
You were an easy target.."
was the reply in my ear.

I open my eyes,
my bedroom is gone.
I'm back in the darkness
Oh it feels so wrong!
I know where I am
It's all so familiar
It's not far from the light
Except it is chillier.

However, it's all black
My eyes need to adjust
To the shadows around me
Why do I feel cuffed?
"Now that your back,
we can't ever let you leave"
She laughed like a maniac
I have to escape, I do believe.

The shadows start to show
they are little blobs now
Outlines of demons
I'm not going to be their chow!
They all creep forward
"We feast tonight" she screams
I struggle and strain against the cuffs,
but all hope is lost, it seems

I need to get out,
go back to the light
They move forward from the left,
I lean to the right
"Help me!" I scream
But it falls on deaf ears
I try push them away
As they sense my growing fears

"HELP ME!" I get louder,
"Shut up," she yells.
Encouraging them closer
This is my seven hells.
Just as they reach out
I feel a cold, so I shivered
I looked at my feet
"Get this over with" I quivered.

I feel nothing.
No hands, no breaths, no cold
What the Eff happened
Am I being controlled
"Nooooooo," I hear whispered
from a group of distant throats
"come back, its easy, the dark is better"
They almost gloat

"Wake up now N,
we need you here".
"That's right, c'mon,
you can't just disappear".
I'm back, in my room
Looking at the screen
turns out this whole time
It was just a bad dream.

    Well Nams. Over here! Lol. Considering every even numbered line rhymes...a creation of stanzas would attract more comments? Only because it seems like a long read the way it is formatted. Maybe every eight lines can form a stanza? If a four line stanza ...your rhyming scheme is abcb?

    Not taking anything away from the content ...its quite intriguing. The first eight lines...

    "Welcome back to the world
    of the un-dead"
    She whispered slowly to me
    as I lay down my head
    How can I be back?
    "It's easy my dear!
    You were an easy target.."
    was the reply in my ear.

    Already I can sense a haze about what is happening...darkness and a whisper in your ear. The undead reference is intriguing.

    Further on you 'open your eyes', like being awake in a dream. This rare occurrence is an interesting theme throughout your works. As if life sometimes feels to you like living in a dream, albeit a dark one.

    The references here to demons and being cuffed. I wonder if this is symbolic of real life occurences for you. Maybe depression has you tied down (cuffs) and the demons are nihilistic thoughts. I get the impression you feel like are a prisoner in your own mind sometimes.

    The visuals of you struggling and crying for help are very powerful and vivid. This 'she' is an interesting figure in all this, wonder if she too is an actual figure in your life. Someone keeping you down perhaps, or who ignores the depressed side of you.

    You seem to succomb to the power of the darkness. The cold reference maybe you body waking itself up. The demons whisper 'nooo' as you are returning. Their you are.... It was all a dream. And a fascinating ...well written one too.

    Aside from structure. This piece reveals your mind to be complex, and dark at times. It reads that you may have inner demons you are battling. These are manifesting themselves in your dreams. At least that is how I interpret them after analysis. Hugs Nams!
