Down the street
During the night
Around a corner
Toward the light
Together with no one
Within myself
By way of the mind
Concerning my health
Behind me comes someone
With evil intent
Because of my fear
From whom he was sent
Inside is safety
Outside is death
Between two worlds
In spite of what’s left
Around me is nothing
But what I was dreaming
By means of aggression
Prior to screaming
