I don't like it here.
It's vastly dark and utterly dangerous.
Every move I make could destroy me;
Leading to a canyon from which I could never escape.
I must tiptoe around for if I am loud
I could easily awaken some hideous monster
Which lies dormant in its slumber for now.

I want to scream out!
I want someone to rescue me!
Please!
If you're out there,
Save me from this prison!
I'm not sure I can survive much longer!
I am being held against my will
And my will is breaking!
I need someone to guide me out
Or at least give me some light!


But if I were to shout you couldn't hear me.
Even if you did you wouldn't care.
Others have heard this cry before
And run before they've gotten half way here.
I suppose I cannot blame them.
There are hidden traps everywhere.
Deformed, deranged monsters that make your
Nightmares seem like a playground.

The guardian of this place
Is the worst of its kind.
Hunting me down like an escapee
From a high security prison.
I cannot escape though yet hunted I remain.
The doors are locked, shut tight!
I will live here forever
Trapped in this writer's mind.

Yes, I am a prisoner
Of my own thoughts and actions.
I am a prisoner
Of the darkness lingering within.
My mind is the most frightening place
Anyone could live.
A place so dank and frightening
That even evil won't fit in.
A place so cold and lonely
It should be deemed a sin.
Welcome to
The delightfully, twisted mind of Raydyn World!
Please, won't you come on in?
I don't even know what this is...
