The moon's movie

The moon shining high with a glow

My eyes heavy, they hang low

I look calm and serene as i lay

But a film of past, present, future begins to play

My mind the host

My past my ghost 

It whispers "I know what your afraid of, i will always know.

So close your eyes and enjoy your show."

The theme is teasing and taunting

playing out the unknown is haunting

My mind trapped in whirls

I grip my sheets, grind my teeth 

With every truthful scene my skin curls 

I open my eyes

An unwelcome guest

Accompanied me until sun rise

The future can certainly lead us to feel uncertain. I think you've captured the essence well in your words. I'll agree the the last stanza is a bit different from the rest of the flow, but I think that's only because it jumped tenses on the last line. I found this piece particularly fascinating because you used the moon's rays as something negative, where many people would place a calming feeling to it. That makes your poem more memorable and striking in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing your ink!

Thank you! You were so insightful! I think the moons rays can be negative when you use that time to over think, im so happy you were able to understand that! I will fix the ending thank for the advice :))

Such an interesting, creative piece. I enjoyed it! I believe the last line fit perfectly fine into your piece. It tied it all together for me.
Well done!

I enjoyed how you lead this poem into a nightmare. That was clever and fun to read
