An Anti-Ode To Nightmares

The darkest places of my mind, oh why won't they go away?......

 

How I hate those horrible fears

That make me scream and cry real tears

that make me not want to sleep

Hoping that the little sanity I have I can keep

 

The monsters claw at their cages

As they break loose they take their stages

Biting and howling at me

Why can't they just let me be?

 

They grow more vicious as I get more restless

With each wound I feel myself grow breathless

I want to wake up from this dark dream

It's just like the world, full with things that are mean

 

I feel myself starting to crack

As these demons scratch at my back

My body and mind are full of pure fear

I feel controlled like a doll of a puppeteer

 

I'm on the ground now bleeding

I want to open my eyes, that is all I'm needing

I want to see the first rays of new light

And leave this neverending night

 

I finally get my wish

I feel my breath return to me in a swish

The feeling of danger is gone

I'm back to a place I find fond

 

Sadly I know this will not last

Again my nightmares will come to pass

As the pale moon comes and darkness covers the land

I'll be in my mind running as fast as I can
