Nightmares
Eyes open wide, fear evident, but why?
Panting heavily, sweat trickles down, breath becomes shallow, unable to move, I wonder why?
2 AM wakes me up, are there monsters in my head or what?
"Why always me?" I cry, no reply, in the dark, under the sky.
Making me ponder deeply, is this actuality or simply a nightmare?
Merely a nightmare? They torment me even in sleep's embrace,
As if daylight lacks the might to ease.
"Nightmares, nightmares, nightmares,"
I whisper to myself,
"All but dreams and illusions,"
I repeat, seeking solace.
But are they merely nightmares? Or is it the reality that I am not prepared to confront?
In the darkness of the night, solace eludes me, as only the reverberation of my unheard pleas haunts me, adrift in the abyss of my despair.
