Recurring Nightmares

I don't even feel safe in my head.

You see,

When night comes

And the darkness seeps in,

I close my eyes

And let sleep lay it's claim.

Through the long hours of the night,

My demons creep into my dreams,

Holding me down in a choke hold.

I break free,

I stumble away.

From room to room,

Looking for refuge,

But they catch up,

And they find me.

Choking,

Choking,

Choking.

'LET ME BREATHE,'

I try to yell,

No matter how futile are my attempts.

The most frightening thing

Is that this happens every night.
