Bed of Thorns

Warmth bounds me to the blankets
Comport grips me to the sheets
The pillow imprisons my screaming head
As my eyelids collapse
I am at mercy to my bed

Mind foggy as a crystal ball
Demons and devils sense to know all
My skull cracking from pressure and blaze
To give up means to death I fall

My eyes awake
Tears poisoned but alive
Demons laugh echo from every wall
Cant do any damage unless inside
Next time they whisper bloody murder in my ear
I’ll be sound asleep welcoming them to my fears

I like how in the first verse you combine good things like "comfort" and "warmth" with harsher imagery.

This is great.  It really captured the fear and pain of a bad dream, and it's eery enough to make the dream seem real.  It makes teh reader feel afraid, nice job :)

 Yeah I agree. Excellent word choice! It's not too long, or too short. You've captured a nightmare quite well. 5/5
