In the shadows of the night,
I lay to rest,
But my dreams become a haunted quest.
Through realms of darkness,
I'm tossed and turned,
My worst nightmare,
a fire that burns.
I find myself in an eerie place,
Lost in a labyrinth of fears I face.

Monsters and demons,
they lurk nearby,
Their hollow eyes,
they terrify.
A suffocating grip of fear surrounds,
As I struggle to break free from bounds.

Chased by phantoms of my own creation,
Caught in a web of dark temptation.
In this realm of horrors,
I'm ensnared,
Each step I take, my soul is bared.

The weight of dread upon my chest,
An endless cycle,
no time to rest.
The echoes of screams,
they pierce the air,
A cacophony of torment and despair.

I plead for dawn to break this spell,
To escape this nightmarish hell.
But the shadows mock my futile plea,
In this nightmare, I'm not truly free.

The monsters dance and taunt with glee,
Their laughter an endless symphony.
I search for hope, a glimmering light,
To banish darkness from this night.

But my worst nightmare,
a mirror of self,
Reflects the doubts and fears I shelf.
In this surreal realm,
I find no peace,
As the haunting visions refuse to cease.
I yearn for morning's gentle kiss,
To wake me from this abyss.

efd622951ad2e4dd7d41ccfd8f4a495ea7326e6e.jpg

Yet, amidst the darkness and despair,
A flicker of courage, I do declare.
I'll face my fears and take a stand,
To conquer nightmares, hand in hand.
With dawn's embrace, the night departs,
I find solace in my beating heart.

efd622951ad2e4dd7d41ccfd8f4a495ea7326e6e.jpg
For even in the depths of dread,
I'll rise above,
no more tears to shed.
My worst nightmare may come again,
But I'll endure, I will sustain.
Through darkness,
I will find my way,
In the light of hope,
I'll always stay.
