Embraced Within

The curling of the fingers digs deep,
waking them from the darkest sleep,
their terrors inside war between,
among the dreams of imaginations seen,
teeth and nails with shadows hide,
with straining of eyelids open too wide,
voices screamed the broken haunts,
after the evils grin with unlimited taunts,
nightmares filled with hurt break through,
grabbing to bring back something new,
falling into the deepest dreamed holes,
as they drag their blackened souls,
inside the nightmare of a child's mind,
leaving the world they knew behind.
