In my dreams I float away

I'm running towards a door

Though I run as fast as I can


I implore the worshiped Sandman
Yet I never reach my destination

He never grants my request

So every night I lie awake

Instead of gaining well deserved rest

I glare up at my window

And scrutinize the waxing and waning

Of the fiend that sears my eyes

And mocks my insomnia

Growing brighter and brighter still,

Laughing at my exhaustion

And through the light there's always dark

Impenetrable, unyielding dark

It slowly envelops me

Seeming to swallow me up

Then spit me right back out

As if mortified to the taste

 In the morning I awake

And drag myself from my sanctuary

To tread through the dregs of society

That hiss and snap at each step I take

And boast of their lack of knowledge

Never knowing they’re risking their lives

To dance with the Devil

Their looks are ones that long for return

In return all they get are looks

 Of contempt and utter repulsion

Of those who are a waste
Of the very flesh by which they sin.

I am an intruder of their wastelands

One of which who will end the life

Of anyone who attempts to impend on my own

With one swift movement of stainless steel

I will continue my destination with no further thoughts

Of the incident that threatened hindrance.

After idle hours and thoughts of blasphemy

I return to the place I know so well

One reeking with the insane and confused

Also known as the seventh circle of hell

Selfish monsters ranting of their superiority

Easily angered and positioned to strike

So I’m remarkably agitated during the day

My only peace reveals itself at night

 I remain still so as not to wake the disturbed

                                                                       And glower at the snickers of the taunting moonlight.
