Nightmares.

Nerve wrecking and heart breaking are these dreams,
Dragging her away from reality into a world of insanity,
Holding her hostage tied under the tree,
Waiting for lightening to strike her dream.

Malice and hatred are evident in its fiery eyes,
Hoping for tears and ear shattering screams.

Scared of the dark and its red-eyed demons,
She did not live, merely survived.

Waking up to the blazing sun,
She wiped her cheeks and spread a smile,
Hoping for people to believe she's fine,
She walked into reality still weary of the coming nights.

Author's Note

Hi guys! Sorry, I've been inactive on writerscafe for a while. I had a terrible writers block, but I finally have something worth putting up here. I really like this poem for some odd reason. I hope you feel the same. :)

Just amazing simran
Painting with words
With black ink
On a white paper
Still people cant read it
Because they think its good what happening to you and dont realize what are you portraying
Some rare people understands that black ink......
You have quiet few of them i would like to think
Beautiful poem.....

You come back with a strong fact,
Dark and scary.

Scared of the dark and its red-eyed demons,
She did not live, merely survived.

a lesson for those who dream the horrors at night, we should fight the world of demons and stand against the night screams, you found a worthy subject for this comeback poem Simran and created a great poem to give us the shivers :)

[Simran Kewlani]

Nightmares are something that hold a very big place in my life. I've basically had them I'll my life. For a comeback poem, this seemed the most appropriate because I can give y'all a vivid and detailed description, since I've had many of them. I'm glad you like this poem, its a personal favourite. If this gave you shivers, its got to be good. Thanks again. :)
