Take me away

I'm standing on a tiny platform
It must be about three feet square
It is heated from underneath
And the rubber on my shoes is melting
If I try to sit I burn myself
If I stand I get tired
And I don't want to stay here anymore

So I look around for a way to go
First I look straight ahead
Straight ahead there is a field of tall sharp spikes
Packed closely together
If I stepped off that way I'd be instantly impaled

I look to my left
Left there is a dark forest
The trees hang low, the small moon shines through the clouds
A mist covers the forest
It is a dark night, and I can hear the cries of fearsome hungry animals too close by
I see them lurking in the shadows, their teeth glistening, they are ready to pounce
I dare not go in that direction

I look to my right
Right there is a sea of acid
A pale, sickly yellow
It disintegrates whatever it touches
I could not swim it

So I look behind me
Behind me there is a strange light
Coming towards is a man that shines so bright
He offers me a hand and takes me away
Now i am set free from this strange nightmare
