Petrified
by jacebre

I want to screech and shriek

But I don’t dare to.

Give me an analogy, I will warn you

How nightmares are not dreams

It’s a future truth

You’re treading in shallow waters

Your shark will come soon.

Trees and ropes in your night air,

But at night these demons, they never fight fair

Relieving inhumane screams you’re not supposed to hear

Becoming dormant and sly

It’s not just darkness there

Don’t be afraid of your roof

Or your closet dear

Incriminate your own kind it’s just humans here.
