Hush child,
All is well in this loud silence.
Don't cry
As you drift into a still coma of despair.
Tearing down dreams,
The ones who pull you under.

This state of uncontrollable dreaming
Wrapping you in silence.
Weep with despair.
Trapped in the world down under.
Yearning to be a child.
Innocent first cry.

Pulling deeper under,
Betrayed in your dream.
Scatter around crying,
Screaming with despair.
Starring at your soul in silence
Is the pale wailing child.

Fight for this bloody dream
To be your own in dark silence.
Shriek out in despair
As they grab your ankle, dragging you further under.
Stop this cry,
At once, like a child.

A world of hard silence.
Mouths masking despair.
Unworldly blunder.
Ignoring your desolate cries.
A mother astray from her child.
Tear out of this putrid dream.

Run fast at the crack of thunder.
For you are only a child,
Terrified as you lucid dream.
Blood curdling cries
Of your own despair.
In this vibrant silence.

Hush sweet child of mine, do not fear this heavy silence.
I shall be the comfort as you cry in despair, from this dream you are still under.
