Demonic Slumber

Each night as I slip off into that
Macabre state of slumber

Unconsciousness takes hold, the
Lines between the real and the
Surreal twist together to form
A demented freakish hell

The creatures which my mind has
Created dwell in the deep, hidden
Recesses of that bloody mass I call
A brain clawing and shredding what
Is left of my sanity until I can no
Longer make any kind of distinctions

Many nights I lie awake and beg that
My mortal flesh be taken before sleep
Has its chance to lay claim to my
Soul for the night

There is no rest for the week or the
Wicked only a slow grueling torment
Of the mind and spirit

It has been whispered on good authority
That there is only one objective to this
Pathetic game and that is to find the one
Who is the most resilient

Be strong, carry the weight of your
Convictions, charisma has no place in
This of unholy of places, our inner
Demons will never show mercy

G. Williams
