Deja-Voodoo

Illustration by Justine Bacareza

I dreamed of something unusual

A feeling that becomes so fatal

As if I was brought to the asylum

Where insanity has its momentum

I woke up and it was dark at night

I thought I have slept that right

But that feeling came to me

As if I can’t breathe properly

My eyes gone red and my fangs grew

I never knew I have been cursed by you

I saw an illusion, thought it was my first time

But suddenly, you treated me like a mime

Followed and stalked by an illusion

Trapped and caught from confusion

I really don’t know what to do

Being locked in chains by you

Tortured by fear, tormented by fright

I tried to escape but I lost my sight

Trapped in a long maze of horror

With a feeling of endless slaughter

I feel like a monster right now

Stabbed and snapped somehow

You try to finish me off again

Like a revenant stabbed by a pen

It’s finally payback time

This is not a crime

I’ll hunt you down

You senseless killer clown

I’ll cut your throat and break into pieces

Behead you till my anger increases

Removing your spine would be my pleasure

Cutting you in half would be my treasure

Now you are totally finished

My hatred with you is diminished

But everything was just a dream

So I close my eyes and scream

There was only one thing I realized

That made me to become demonized

It was only just déjà vu

Treating me like a voodoo
