Blood-thirsty thoughts compete

To be heard among the stench of

Temporary carnage

Chased by apparitions of the past…

Through mortal halls where the soul is silenced

Scratching at the walls from within.

Quickening the pace to catch up to my conscience

Deadening fatal screams envelop my whole being

From what depths do these horrid visions lurk?

Peripheral shadows overcast the senses…

Leering…piercing eyes penetrate the darker side

That of which I resist.

Conquering the temptation to succumb

To the fear that grips…

The paranoia that disturbs my inner voice

Alerting my instincts to flee before

The possession takes over.

Anxiety engulfs my mind

In a split second I am not myself

A severe darkness… blindness resides

Unable to cease the shudders…

The overwhelming physical pain

Suddenly a presence overcomes…

Ghastly breaths heave as life is drained.
