Nightmarish World
Sometimes I don’t want to go to sleep,
for fear of what my dreams will bring,
there are times,
where I would wake up screaming,
Something inside me triggers,
it pulls at my mind,
please stop me,
from sleeping tonight,
I don’t want to see,
this nightmarish world I created,
it exists only in my mind,
I know that but I wish I didn’t,
It haunts me every time,
so I fight the urge to sleep,
I want to forget the dreams,
and forget that terrible place,
I drift off to a restless sleep,
even though the rain is falling,
I can still hear the tapping on the window,
even in this nightmarish world,
When will the dreaming end?
am I to forever continue this life?
there is never a time where a dream is happy,
but I know this is my world,
There is a sense of safety here,
a sense of peace,
even though it haunts my soul,
this is my nightmarish world.
