Nightmare (In Dreams and Reality)

Plagued by thoughts.

Staring at the ceiling hoping it would fall,
Eyes wander to these surrounding blank walls.
Four corners and blocked from the stars,
Caged shut and trapped, even without any bars.
Thoughts roam my head, in the form of plagued creatures;
Just like my self-esteem, their flesh is peeling from damaged features.
They murmur and wheeze, like smoking cigarettes and weed;
Clawing at my mind's surface, paranoid and in need- of escape.
Swing open the drapes:
And let the moonlight give me the illusion that it's safe.
Caution: This is my brain.
Blood stains and chains, slashed veins and exposed brain membranes.
Corpses of animals looking like they were on a road's lane,
Still crawling on the floor, as they survived exploding tanks of propane.
Shots fired from my mouth,
Screaming "GET OUT."
Let this nightmare cease!
Someone kill my doubts-
Of waking up safe the next morning.
Without feeling scorning... toward my own mentality.
A nightly battle within me: self affliction, night terror brutality.
The thoughts that haunt me in dreams and reality.

Brain toxicology, man.. Loved how thoughts can haunt & taunt us in our
waking & sleep mode moments /// Ghoulish, nightmarish~~ indeed..
The imagery is grotesquely fantastic ... You definitely have slapped
your dark and brutal terror onto the page.
Loved how you've described how the brain needs some airing out
in the 1st 4 lines ... you're such a brain tease..
thanx for sharing!
