Daze 17


Dark Hall



Dim lights ahead
Gloom and fear take lead
Black and white I see

Forward on, I struggle, fruitless
I wish to move, but not my feet
I can not feel my feet

Hallway ahead, doors all around
Paranoia strikes my heart
As I hear nothing, no sounds

Lights flicker
The hallway moves around
As I now fall down

Struggling upwards
Disorientation surrounding
All around on the ground

Like a dream, trapped here
Paralysis striking my mind
Will I make it through the hallway

Closing my eyes
Obstacles to my success
Stumbling back and forth

Down the hall, running
There at the end is reality
Or is it just an escape.
