Captive in the frame
Awakened from deafening noises
pushing away this long night mare
unsuccesful I rub my dark eyes
trying to look through a dusty cloud
I shake cob webs that I wear
Looking in a mirror
I lay back on the floor
fear grabs me as I curl up
knowing that this dream must end
or destruction has claimed my world
