\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nightmare Or Vision?<\/strong><\/p>\n

10,000 maniacs were screaming my name.<\/p>\n

I think I might be going insane.<\/p>\n

I took a walk on the wild side.<\/p>\n

While there I almost died.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve heard of the 7 levels of hell?<\/p>\n

Well, let me verbalize & ring your bell.<\/p>\n

There may even be a level # 8.<\/p>\n

Designed especially for your fate.<\/p>\n

All those things you\u2019ve buried deep.<\/p>\n

Kept in the dark afraid to seek.<\/p>\n

Pigeon holed deep in your mind.<\/p>\n

Buried, you hoped, till the end of time.<\/p>\n

Locked up tight in the dark recesses of the id.<\/p>\n

Only emerging in nightmares when a kid.<\/p>\n

If those nightmares return as an adult.<\/p>\n

The fabric of your sanity may melt.<\/p>\n

The most atrocious offensive things.<\/p>\n

Sit in wait to emerge & cause pain.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll run, you\u2019ll scream, you\u2019ll flip your lid.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be more frightened than when a kid.<\/p>\n

Never think you can tempt your fate.<\/p>\n

Demons will act. They will not wait.<\/p>\n

They will drag you down to the 8th<\/sup> level of hell.<\/p>\n

There you will remain to scream and yell.<\/p>\n

You may be locked up in a rubber room.<\/p>\n

But, your mind tells you \u2018IT\u2019 is coming soon.<\/p>\n

Tranquilizers just make it like you\u2019re in a fog.<\/p>\n

Makes you feel like you\u2019re stuck in a bog.<\/p>\n

Demons screaming, the smoke, the fire.<\/p>\n

All of them yelling that you\u2019re a liar.<\/p>\n

There is no escape as indescribable things appear.<\/p>\n

You rip your face and skin in fear.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re screaming \u201clet me out\u201d \u201clet me die.\u201d<\/p>\n

You feel like ripping out your eyes.<\/p>\n

There is no escape. You know this is final.<\/p>\n

Judgment has closed. You know why though.<\/p>\n

Back when you had the choice.<\/p>\n

You didn\u2019t even use your voice.<\/p>\n

You turned your back on the only salvation.<\/p>\n

You could not resist temptation.<\/p>\n

Oh, that you only understood.<\/p>\n

You can do nothing that is good.<\/p>\n

But, He can , and will for you.<\/p>\n

All it takes is to ask Him to.<\/p>\n

I made it back when I woke up screaming .<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t true, I was only dreaming.<\/p>\n

But, it sure woke me out of my slumber.<\/p>\n

I fell to my knees & prayed like thunder.<\/p>\n

Loud and long for God above<\/p>\n

to keep me safe in His arms of love———–R. W. Johnson—–(2014)<\/p>\n
