Nightmare

by beautiful*chaos   Jun 14, 2021


Panting, sweating, terrified.
Running, crawling, hiding.
I can't see, it's too dark.
I can hear, but only the beating of my own heart.
Tied up, tied down, completely bound.
Cold, hungry, in pain.
I need to escape, I can't stay here.
I'm helpless....no one is coming to help.
TRUST NO ONE!!!
Shh.. did you hear that?
He is coming back.
Panic, fear, defeat.
The door opens, light floods in.
I squint an see the sun.
It's morning, I'm awake.
It's always the same nightmare...
And my life is what's at stake.
