The True Nightmare

I jumped into the abyss.

The bottomless pit of darkness.

The black hole of nightmares.

The home of monsters.


But even the beasts

down there are better

than the angels up top.


Up there is where

the true nightmare dwells.

It squeezes in between

the cracks of your armor

and wraps itself around your heart.

Then it attacks when least expected.

Squeezing,

Crushing,

Breaking.


That is why I decided to come down here,

where I am safer.

Here the monsters won't bother me

and they don't hide behind masks or facades.


No.


The monsters down below

show their true nature from the start,

unlike the creatures from above,

the true nightmare.
