You know that feeling
That itch in the back of your skull
The one that leaves you guessing?
The one that takes control...
Feel the fear amounting
To terror...
As your eyes dart around
In search of others eyes
Or a mind taking hold...

Awake or dreaming?
Silent screaming...
Pull me back...
Pull me back...

Confusion...
I'm powerless to defend...
Escalation of nervousness
Hits so hard like a hammer to the face
Strangulation of the mind
Shivering soulless in the face of time
One moment feels like eternity...

Test it...
Seek it...
Catch it in the periphery
Now you see what you shouldn't see
Awake or dreaming?
Silent screaming...
Pull me back...
Pull me back into myself.






Something I came up with after a dream in which a shadowed figure watched me as I slept.
