Today I sit under a tree.
The hot sun beating down on me.
I take a deep breath
Finding myself falling into a deep sleep.
My eyes grow weary
As I drown out every sound.
The ground underneath me slowly fades away.
I try to catch myself,
But my hands give way.
Flailing around and screaming
I remind myself I'm dreaming.
I do my best to wake up
When nothing happens I stand up.
I search for a door.
Anyway to get out of this place.
A voice whispers in my ear
"Anywhere you go you aren't safe"
Fear overwhelms me
Tears running down my face.
The voice whispers again,
"We've always been with you. We know of your every sin."
I tried my best to run.
The voices all seemed to be having fun.
"We've locked you up tightly. There's no where to go."
I screamed out "who are you friend or foe?"
"We're the demons in your head."
Finally I understood.
They set up a trap so well.
They wanted to keep me here.
So that they could feed immensely on my fear.
I wouldn't let that happen.
I couldn't die here.
I woke up from my nap
Drenched in sweat
My thoughts still clouded from fear.
I decided from that day on
My demons will no longer live here.
