The Boogeyman...

I scream out again
The blood throbbing in my ears
My bed is covered in sweat
As I wake up from the nightmare.

I can see his face
Plain as day
It is average to those around him
It is menacing to me
I feel trapped
There is nothing I can do

He looms over me
Tears fall from my face
He won't go away
He won't leave me alone
The Boogeyman
That's what I think of him
The Boogeyman haunts my dreams
Forces his way into my mind

He is a snake
Striking without notice
He is a demon
Torturing others for his own sick happiness

I can't run away
I can't yell out
I won't remember until in the morning
I will push this out of my mind
For a couple more hours of sleep

I will hurt tomorrow
I will scream and vomit
I will cut and push everybody away

Take it all away
Take away the memories the dreams
Take away the Boogeyman….
