Fear

Fear
Fear of the dark
And its all consuming power
Afraid
Afraid to go to sleep
Of the images in my dreams
Fear of that dark corridor
With the single door at the end
I cant turn back
I cant even glance
I start to run
I cant help it
The faster I go the further it is
Im almost there
Now theres a noise
Its my heart mind and soul
Begging
Begging it to stop
Begging for the ability to turn around
I reach the door
Its locked
I kick it in
Crash
Immediately I wish I hadnt
I fall to my knees
Theres something in my throat
I realize its the contents of my stomach
The sight
The corpse
The decapitated body
The mangled lifeless limbs
I cant see who it is
I dont know if I want to know
I feel like i'm falling
I feel like im wet
I open my eyes
Im drenched in sweat
My shaking hand reaches for the light switch
I turn it on
And realize it was just a dream
And yet the fear, so strong
From such a simple thing
But
Never the less
Fear
