Predatory

Nights scattered around in a state if whiplash
Emphasized for a bolder meaning
A deeper one
That everyone is familiar of
As it runs through their veins
It's a family friend you can't get rid of
It's the predator you can't lack thereof
It's the lucidity in your daydreams and innermost
sources of insecurities
It's your nightmare and the one that turns you into
a heap of despair filled with demons.
It's all etched in mind and in soul
The facade you try to scrape off but are so unsuccessful at doing so
So closure to exposure and so close to sympathy
The nostalgia and longing drives a wise man to be a fool with desperation.
The help and the screams with the illusion of a real lucid dream

But this one you can't control as they are the ones behind the wheel
Your life in their palms and they gave it
Just like when they gave soul and ability to dream
Just like when they reprimand you and tear your soul out of boredom and drown dreams as a hobby
I pray that my facade gets torn down as the guilt rides on my back
