Dread

Running through the night 

The forest extends 

Trapped in twists and bends 

No exit in sight 

Death chases behind 

the killers close in

Thrawn roots choke my shin

I have lost my mind

Wait to be consumed

By the clear killers

Hiding in pillars

where can’t be assumed

 I fall into sky,

I’m swallowed by night

No escape in sight

I must wait to die

there’s only silence

but beats in my ears

Tasting salted tears

No death nor violence

Always a victim

Life is not my own

I’m always alone

Life on other’s whim

Evil always lurks

I’m always helpless

My fate is hopeless

Nothing I do works

I can’t overcome

the need to be free

of my destiny 

They make me succumb
