Shriek No More My Friend (Acrostic)

Shackled you are escorted down the damp dark passage

Hooded body guards all around, amidst sounds of revelry

Relics of your past assail you as you are herded out

Into the open stripped of your pride, draped in rags

Excitement builds in the crowd as you are released and the

King issues his decree upon you and all of the wrongs done.

 

Now another gate opens releasing the monster to devour

Only faith will save you now, can you rely on it

 

Men throughout the ages fight from within their soul

Only those strong in their faith will come away unscathed

Reality creeps in as you struggle to grasp for hope

Every soul who stood here before you reaches out

 

Madness creeping into your mind as the monster roars

You struggle to fight against it with just your will.

 

Finally you 

Realize that 

It's time to

End this

Nightmare or is it truly just a

Dream?
