| My special Nightmare A shadow world all my own, Where darkness lurks and demons roam. Firghtening things are everywhere, A constant fear hangs in the air. The sky is dark, no star in sight In my world of velvet night. In shadowed corners nightmares hide, This chosen place they now reside. But I refuse to be afraid 'Lest my world begins to fade. And if it should perhaps I'd cry For then I'd know the sunlit sky. Not that I don't wish to see What the light could make of me, I just prefer the shadow world Where all my nightmares are uncurled. In this place I call me home There's no one else, I'm all alone. All the rest have run away To live in light and sunshine day. At first I could only sit and stare Praying to see another there. But then at last the demons came And showed me things could be the same. They taught me how the silence sings And the joys of childish things. Now I question without fear, "Was there ever another here?" Perhaps I always was alone In this shadowed world I call my own. I watch the things beyond my sight, The world of life and love and light. It's better to recieve than it is to give, That's what I see as people live. "Fear the dark and love the day, It's always best," that's what they say. I shake my head and turn away Back to shadow where I'll stay. Back to games with friendly fright Back to darkness, silent night. Back to nightmares all my own That the world of light had once known. They long have forgotten this world exsists, A Mirror of Black, too much to resist. And so forever I'm trapped, eternally free. The shadowed reflection of all you see. |
