Defeat the Nightmare

Around my neck Memory thrusts a rope,

while in the distance a piercingly horrid scream

I cannot help but to merely lose all hope,

when life's became a painful dream

 

Thoughts grip and pull the strings,

the screams turn from frightened to agony

Unable to breathe as Life suffocates me,

no one to turn to; I just can't be free

 

Hallucination's become my fine drug,

and anesthedics are lies mixed with pain

Now all my care is thrown under a rug;

all emotion has been completely drained

 

A person can't do that to one's self,

I just can't let Nightmare control my mind

Tis time to remember my uttmost worth,

now or never to let my impertions unwind

 

And yet this rope keeps tightening,

and Death searches for my heart

But I must fight even if it's frightening,

before my soul is finally torn apart

 

Thinking of nothing but current salvation,

and any trace of possible remorse gone

Inner Strenght lifts my body from the ashes,

I realize, finally, what's deludedly going on

 

To vanish this dream is my only possible plea;

to escape the surrounding imortality

If I let let Fate conquer the best of me,

forever a martyr I shall be

 

So burn the rope, set myself free,

watching for meanings between the lines,

til a glimpse of hope I wil maybe see

Dimishing weakness of every kind
