Night Terrors

These chains still bind me to an unbearable degree
My wrists are shackled and my body is weak
I can still feel the touch yet the warmth has gone
This whole fucking world isn’t where I belong
Sometimes I hide and cover my face
And forget my existence inside of this place
I swear I remember something else
Something that tells me I’m not myself
The storm I feel inside could tear me apart
I can grip my chest but not feel my heart
The demons that haunt and torture my dreams
In a cold sweat I awake to nothing but screams.
