Nightmare

Sunk in deep sands in scorching summer of the desert

Fluctuating sleep schedule

Sweating, sweltering, shaking from inside

My breath going haywire

My shadow dares me to scare

And takes me to an unknown valley of the departed

Where apparitions are better than humans

For their ability to disappear and not to disguise as demons

Lost in horrific hallucinations

All spoon me hard

I am torn into shards

Their desire to keep me in their mystical ward

And my compulsion to come back to my yard.
