Figment of My Imagination

I am afraid to look there

Afraid to look up

Afraid to look down

I shut my eyes, sleep never found

So I look around

stuck in a black void

nothingness can be so horrifying

I shut my eyes again

and a face appears

and its torso

a floating torso

a floating face

It’s getting closer

that imaginary thing

gliding through my mind

But then I open my eyes

it’s gliding up the walls

still it gets closer

I shut my eyes

it’s still even more close

there is no escape

from this figment of my imagination
