Monster

There is a dark place
A place where I have no eyes
no mouth
and no words.

I can’t cry out
because I have no breath.

The silence is so deep.

I want so badly to die
but I can’t.

The darkness and silence go on
forever.

But it is not a dream.
I don’t dream.

Totally aware
yet totally trapped.
I’m beginning to lose my mind.

I need to find a way out of here.
I’m losing time.

I fear for my life as I remember everything.
I remember everything.

Awareness
as I sit and cry.

I ran
I had to hide.
Aware now
that I am not trusted
and I should trust no one.

I had never lied before
so why wouldn’t they believe me?

I must return to my dark place
It is the only place I am safe.

With no eyes
no mouth
no breath.

Just a memory that haunts me...

It is not a dream
because I don’t dream.
