Chapter 4: 10-2-13

Very disturbing, this was an actual nightmare that I had and it honestly made me feel as if I was going insane... be warned.

I am seventeen years old

And still I fear my nightmares

In the sane warmth of the waking world

But they are not nightmares when I dream them

They do not feel that way

I am not afraid

As sleep deprives me of my defenses

I am not afraid

As the dark images penetrate my mind

But when I wake and remember them

I fear            

Last night I saw a horrid scene

Unfold slowly before me

A shadowy angel

Long dead and fallen from heaven’s glorious heights

A demon

Came into my home

It possessed a large black shaggy dog

And drew me out into an empty unused room

Where it proceeded to f**k me

And I could do nothing

Then the door opened to show my mother

She said something to me disapprovingly

And it ran away

I then went to my room

And lay face down on my bed

In quite an uncomfortable position

But that was how it wanted me to lay

“It is only fitting” it said

“That it be as it was the first time”

Its solid shadow figure reared over me

And just before it could once again

Attempt its horrid purpose

The door opened, though no one was there

And again it fled

I moved into another room

My sisters were there

I did

And did not

Want to see the creature again

It was quite confusing

But it possessed my father then

Again it tried to get me alone

Instead of following it

This time I fought it

I began to choke my father…

I know not the meaning

Lurking behind this awful vision

This is why I pen it down

In the hopes that perhaps

Seeing the words will help me understand

And in some ways I have

Though much still remains a mystery

I think I shall do this again

Maybe then I’ll be able to see

What these demons want with me

Author's Note

As I said, it's disturbing. I had this nightmare the night before the day mentioned in the title. None of what I have said is false... It still freaks me out and I have had similar dreams since... I hope no one else ever has to have a dream like this...

This was intense, horrifying and it honestly feels like the demon watches you as you read it, studying you're every reaction waiting for an opportunity to infest your mind and possess vessel. Hope you get a good nights rest, but hey a couple of nightmares makes for a beautiful poem. Glad you took something scary and shared it with us through your artistic capability

Thank you Keegan:) Very interesting way to look at it, but thank you:) and I haven't had a demon dream in a while thank God:)

[KeeD]

So basically you haven't dreamt of me in a while, cool :P

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Lolz:) wow, that tells me a lot about what you think of yourself:)

[KeeD]

Haha yeah i'm not my own cheerleader that's for sure :D

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Lolz:) awwwww, why not?

[KeeD]

cause there are too many people hurting and too many things I can do for others in the world than to cheer for myself :D

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Doesn't mean you can't still be cheerful for yourself:)

[Laura Storm]

This is terrifying for me. I have had dreams plague me that are similar to this and I'm glad you found a way to get the dreams out. Not the best poem but a great outlet. Dreams are often telling us things we are not aware of. Good luck with your dreams.

Thanks... they've kind of gone away now... I just hope they don't come back...
