They know

Tearing at my skin their claws rip at my soul
I lie and tell myself I'm always in control
Hounding my dreams they never let me forget
As I jump out of bed afraid my the sheets show where I was with my sweat
They send shivers down my spine
And I soon realize its not a shiver but them ripping my spine out one inch at a time
I beg and plea for them to end the pain and release me from this
My eyes close and like always I think of the things I'm going to miss
Just before I am devoured I gather all the strength I can
And with eyes wide shut I let go with my right then my left hand
FREEDOM
