Thanks for the compliments peeps. That was actually one of my older ones. I will gather a few new ones I'm working on before I post the newer work.

@Blue: That one reminds me of Creed's "My Own Prison".

Another oldie of mine:

                                       Nightmare



Every night I have this nightmare.
Or rather, it's more like a frightmare.
Never can I change what happens,
nor can I arrange to stop it.
I always awake in a cold sweat...at 2 a.m.

It starts in an unknown frightning place.
I'm in bed, sit up, my heart begins to race.
Outside the window is thunder and lightning.

I open the door and walk down the corridor.
And what I see on the floor,
scares me frozen to my core.

A pair of creatures over a half eaten man.
Their features were a mixture
of half man and half wild boar.
With long, black dingy hair.
My throat was now so sore,
no sound, I could speak no more.

They looked at me with red piercing eyes.
They defy all natural laws.
Monsterous paws with razor sharp claws.,
merciless jaws as sharp as saws.

Out of their jaws dripped a flood
of bright red blood as thick as mud,
and hit the floor with a sickening thud.

I smell something fowl.
I hear in the distance
a loud, soulful howl.
Then a deep, low pitched growl.
A lightning flash, a deafening crash,
and toward me they both dash.

I scream at these terrifying things i've seen,
as I run to the nearest door.
I quickly lean and fling myself inside,
slamming it shut behing me.

I breathe in deeply.
Trying to catch my breath briefly.
I warily make my way to the
other side of the room.
All that's here is a bed, closet, and a window.
It's way to high up to jump.

While I site there and think,
from the closet I hear a soft creak.
Fear tightly grasps my heart,
and a chill runs up my spine.
Almost too weak to even peek.
I turn to the closet.

Two bright red eyes are peering.
Never seen anything so frightning.
One more bright flash of lightning,
menacing red eyes gleaming.
Slowly toward me it's nearing.

Last thing I hear is it's loud screeching.
Then I wake up screaming.
Soaking wet in a cold sweat.
I look up at the clock,
Tick tock tick tock,
It's 2 o'clock...
