Caught in A Dream

entry picture

The daylight fades very fast
And I am consumed by the night
Sleep takes me into the vortex
As I submit without a fight
I am running for my life
Falling through a sky of violence
In a deep tunnel and trapped
In terror I scream in silence

Caught in a dream
Lost and found
Caught in a dream
Don't make a sound
Caught in a dream
No way home
Caught in a dream
Forever I roam
Caught in a dream

I am floating above my body
looking down on my existence
My life flashes before me
As I am torn apart with no resistance
I am hiding behind a tree
Lost and naked in the street
Hungry and cold I shiver and shake
My humiliation is now complete

I briefly awake from my slumber
My head it throbs with intense pain
Nature calls and groggily I oblige
My body fights for relief in vain
I stumble blindly back to my bed
For me there is no respite
Into the abyss I am sucked
As I plunge forever back into the night

Caught in a dream
All I feel is despair
Caught in a dream
Falling through the air
Caught in a dream
Climbing a wall of tears
Caught in a dream
Frozen with fearย 
Caught in a dream

Well done, Tom. Great entertainment and a fine poem! Had a bit of a punk feel at certain times.....
