Night Terrors

In the depths of darkness, you feel so alone.

It's simply a shell,

I can wear the emotions as you please.

No matter what, Ill ensure you're at ease.

Its becoming hard to see outside,

Those lies are becoming thick.

I'm running close to the end of this wick.

Gasping for air, reaching for help,

Clutter and emotions block the path.

Look at me! I simply need a glance.

Reach inside, that hardened shell of lies, 

I need a friend, I need a hand.

Don't let me fall further inside of my head,

Its dark. Lonely, and full of fears.

Can't you tell by the streams of tears?

Its hard to ask, and scary to look.

Don't just put your face in that book.

Look at me!

Am I not a person? Why wont you let your gaze pierce this shell?

I swear, inside of here is worse than hell.

I'm tired, its quite, I want noise!

Let me laugh! I want to be free, 

There's a beautiful person inside me!

It's my time, I don't need this.

Ill turn this around, I wont make a mess!

Reaching out, grab a hand. Pull me out!

I scream, I shout.

"It's morning now." mother says. I open my eyes, covered in sweat.

These terrors control my slumber. Let me rest.

Night Terrors.

A powerful poem. Bad dreams can destroy our dreams and make the sleep not restful or peaceful.

This is really good it flows nicely

[A.marie.speaks]

This is such an honest piece. I like the flow, lessening the rhyming pattern really worked for this one. The ending is supreme. I suffered from night terrors my entire childhood, and still do from time to time now, it is such a terrible feelin to be scared of sleep, dreams so real they consume even your waking hours. Great piece !
