In My Nightmare

I can see them

watching and waiting

getting ready to pounce

I run but I’m not fast enough

can’t fight the monsters anymore

they overpower me and I’m helpless

I scream but no one hears me

it’s like a circle of pain

over and over and over again

they strip me of my pride

when they’re done with me

all that’s left is a broken puppet

a shell of a person

nothing but debris

[Stevo The POE-t]

Once again girl a very well written poem... And once again my kind of poem... I love the dark side of poetry... Where we as writers can unleash the horror, the demons of hell... We as humans all possess monsters/demons... They hide in our closet at night just so people can't see how screwed up we really are... This is another one I really wish I would have written... I really love the line "All that's left is a broken puppet."

This is the type of poem that will send shivers right down your spine... But for so many of us this poem is true going back to what I said above... The demons that possess us become to strong to fight off after so long and you just let them become a part of you... And in the end I really do believe nothing is left of you but the shell of what you used to be... Can't wait to read more of your work...

This is indeed felt nightmarish, you conveyed a frantic feel from start to finish. Well done!

[Nicole Williams]

The perfect feel of fear, so well described here. Claustrophobic, awareness almost... stuck, and alone, a black hole of angst. Wonderful piece, I like your dark raw writings.

I can see that this was written with a lot of meaning from deep inside. I feel everyone has dark and powerful nightmares. Great work.
