Coerced Through Submersion

A dream of faces never seen before
Was that all real or was it fiction
Drowning in the cold of my mind
Am I awake, or am I dead?

Pleading with myself to end it all
Reality's grasp is intangible
A saturating feeling, like to be born
Immersed in the womb of my skull

Beams of blinding light streak through my head
Remantling sensations through my brain
Vision returning, agony burning
Begging for the last of my rebirth

An eternity ends and now I'm free
Placate the torture that led me to believe
In a synaptic nightmare
That was once thrust upon me

Gaze up, I see my assailant's splendorous, incorporeal form
Shimmer with broken geometry
A non-euclidean grin
Confined for thoughts of rebellion
That was my sin
Coerced through submersion
