A Horrific Illusion

When even shadows fade I feel their presence near
Haunting within my walls, stirring my worst fears
I hear them whisper behind the door
I lock it tight, I don't dare step outside anymore

They wail to be set free
They beg for my assistance
Their voices follow me
Every moment of my existence

Horrific illusions call me
A nightmare so terrific
I feel it eating at my brain

A hidden truth mysterious
On me now takes its toll
The screams of anguished spirits
Lust for my very soul

Horrific illusions call you
A nightmare so specific
It can't have been formed in my brain

Their voices ever closer
Now threaten to escape
Spiritual torment looming
Certain of impending fate

Horrific illusions beckon
A nightmare so morbific
It must be planted in my brain

Or am I insane?

I feel my essence swallowed
Body crushed, lifeblood spilled
To a void alone and hollow
At my own hand, by my own mind
Killed
