Through The Halls Poem by Nebil Elias

Endless halls, endless doors
I don't know where to go

Deep within the hollowed dark
Echoing silence reigns so stark

I peer deeply into obscurity
Gripped by terror in its purity

No cries loud enough to breach these walls
No light there to lead me out of these halls

Overcome by an eerie chill
Frightened, fearful, but frozen still

A loud shriek made my heartbeat quicker
And the dim-lit lights began to flicker

I begin to quicken my pace
While my heart continues to race

Further, I delve into the abysmal realm
Discord as my guide, with fear at the helm

I began to panic and attempted to flee
From the snarling darkness pursuing me

Making my way through the endless halls
Of tempered gloom and shifting walls

Fearful of the ensuring claws
Something brought my heart to pause

In front me spawned sets of eyes
More beasts, to ensure my painful demise

The lights go out, and the beasts rush in…
Soon sounds of chomping and tearing begin

My bones painfully snap and crack
My screams are swallowed by the infinite black

At war with my demons, eternally confined…
The cyclical hell, in the depths of my mind

But why was I chosen to bear this scourge
With none but death for my saving purge
