My Daytime Nightmare

I wrote this when I was 11. I was going through a stage of depression, I was being bullied during the day and was having nightmares every night so I tied them together to create this poem.

Sorrow fills my eyes at night 

My mind is filled to the top with freight

Scream's awake me from my sleep 

Making my heart start to beat

My sweet dreams now are broken

Hateful words have been spoken

My mind is filled with others hate

Not going to last long at this rate

Been called names to many times

When is it going to cross the line

The pain lies right behind my eyes

Hidden behind a smile that lies

My laugh you hear hides my fears

The smile you see holds back tears

Tears are now my lullaby

My bed is now my alibi

Darkness makes me feel alive

It's the only thing that hasn't lied

Unwanted thoughts run through my mind

Things I hope to forget in time

My past is pulling me to my knees 

I just want to be Free

Author's Note

I was 11 when I wrote this so please ignore minor problems in it and I hope you enjoy

Ah yes...for an 11 year old this is quite good! I too remember having these same "why is life so hard and why do I feel like I'm on the outside looking in" type of questions. I have a more poignant and recent question about a contest you've opened. What is an ABC poem?

[Autumn May]

Thanks. An ABC poem is a poem you make that each line starts with the next letter in the alphabet.
Ex
anything is possible
Believe what is
Can do anything
Etc...
It goes all the way to z and on x you can use ex

Thank you! I have heard of a poem with those same criteria called an Abecedarius poem. ~Sharon
