Well this old house
It moans and creaks
And quite frankly darling
It gives me the creeps

Upon the wood floors
You hear no strides
The middle of the night
Is where the footsteps reside

No one awake
For a step to take
The ghosts and ghouls
Cause my soul to shake

These dreams I dream
They come
They go
These dreams are dreams I can't control
The evil visits when my eyes are closed
They do things to me that are horrible
They make me silent, I can not scream
They paralyze my body, all I can do is think
The beings that come to me when I sleep
I wish they would not
When they leave, I feel crazy
The balance between visions and reality
Blurred and hazy
It makes me scared
When they decide to let go
I spring from sleep
Tears and tears stream down my face
I want out of my bed
And to a safe place

It can't see you if it has no eyes
Reach in your skull and remove them

It can't bite you if it has no mouth
Enter you imagination and erase it

It can't hear you if it has no ears
Trespass in your cranium and take them away

It can't smell you if it has no nose
Drift to your mind and make it disappear

It can't grab you if it has no arms
Storm your brain and ****** them away

It can't chase you if it has no legs
Hop into your head and sweep them away

Relax,
The monster that plagues you is now
Powerless

Now,
Turn things around and terrorize
**IT

When I was young
I saw
I smelled
I tasted
I touched
Felt
And heard

I truly lived

                                    I saw
                                    My grandma Francis
                                    Fallen bridge, and
                                    Bright green, wonderful trees

                                    I smelled
                                    Sweet Jell-O cookies
                                    Vanilla, and
                                    Fresh, Crisp laundry
      
                                    I tasted
                                    Horse treats
                                    Coarse dirt, and
                                    Spinach

                                    I felt
                                    Excitement
                                    My dog, and the
                                    Cool, soaking rain
                              
                                     I heard
                                     Days of the New
                                     Nirvana,
                                     And Rage Against the Machine

I continue to truly live

Silly Alice
Why do you insist on chasing...
That rogue white rabbit?
It never ends.
It's only begun!
You'll fall deeper and deeper
Down the hole.
Your infatuation,
Will be the death of you
Join the greats.
Janis, Jim, Kurt
They welcome you.
Wave and cheer
Congrats! you're finally here...
Whose next?
Love this metaphorical trip
It only lasts so long.
Will you be reborn?
Alice...?

The kiss of the wind
It's like being born again
The orchards trees
swaying in the breeze

Atop this hill
The smell of nature
Soft and sweet
Gentle and calm

Impossible to notice
A war in progress
Half a world away

The leaves of autumn
Forever Changing
Is like the time
Never waning

The army of darkness
The night's minions
Marching above me
Their combat boots creating
Silent thunder

They come in droves
Covering my ceiling
With shadows of guilt
Shadows of unknown

They know everything I've done
They hide, waiting, watching
For something to report
To the darkest depths
Of my mind
They do the same to you
And the rest of mankind
They feed off our secrets
The dark ones fight for your mind
To take over, to claim

Don't get enthralled in their games
Puppets of darkness
They will hold you hostage
To your own psyche
Your cranial cage
Will be your home

Soon enough
The shadows will pass
The thunder will stop
The guilt will never subside

But,
A new day will dawn
