Abducted in my Dreams

Captured, restrained, in pain
malicious ancient beings
clouding my mind

fear and frustration overcome
fighting to stay conscious
hurt, suffering, endless, prodding

many I see and I am only one
fighting for freedom
screaming without a voice

pushing against the pressure
resisting the their minds
letting none enter mine

survival my only thought
I am not alone
yet others do not fight

strong is my mind
resilient is my soul
courageous is my heart
giving up is not a thought
surrender is not an option

my mind pushing at theirs
my body will not go under
my soul will not surrender
my heart will not give up

tired, weakening, in pain
frightened, suffering, yet alive

my efforts pay off
they let go of my mind
too much trouble
not enough results

I'm home again
this time remembering
shaken yet not defeated

sleep is my enemy
dreams equal pain
stay awake or risk it again
