Nightmare

Nightmare

The darkness closes in around me,

The coldness is astounding,

I can’t breathe, and moving is impossible.

The world is so bleak,

I want to run,

I want to hide.

But I can’t hide what’s on the inside.

My own sorrow is in fact me,

The darkest days are here.

The sun fades and the colors go.

Leaving only me standing in the cold.

The nightmare won’t end,

I am my nightmare,

The one thing I can’t hide from.

Crying gets me no where,

But I can’t get to my feet.

I’m lost and broken,

Running away from the darkness in me.

To my happy loving side,

I can’t find it any more.

Now the real nightmare has begun.
