My Nightmare

Wake me from this nightmare. Save me from myself. Free me from this prison Before I have nothing left. "Rescue me!" I beg you. I'm running out of time. If this continues much longer, Out of this dark abyss I won't be able to climb. "It's just a nightmare I'm stuck in." This hope I hold to be true. "I'll wake up any time now." But then I never do. I'm spiraling ever faster From the light of day. I'm growing mighty weary By dodging all the dark that comes my way. I'm floating further away From the peaceful shore. As I drift further outward, The turbulence consumes me even more. With each and every day that passes The weight of the world becomes harder to bear. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to carry it, Before it crushes me and leaves nothing to spare. "Just a little longer." I tell myself. "Then this will all be through." But just how long it will actually take, I haven't got a clue. I feel my happiness grow dim And vanish into this eternal night. I don't go down very easily But I've lost almost all my strength and will to fight. Will I ever escape From the chains that bind me here? Or will I be trapped forever With all the pain and suffering never to disappear? ©
