Nightmarish Traps

Original Submission by D.K.

Nightmarish Traps

The study of minds,

Philosophers and crimes.

Slowly choke me,

In a disturbing rhyme.

The questions asked,

By the devil’s wrath.

Put me to the test

Under cardiac arrest.

The never-ending exams,

And the nightmare’s clash.

Cause in me depression,

And an astronomical stress.

~D.K.~
