My eyelids fall,
covering glazed eyes,
an escape from reality,
is offered within.
My mind drifts away,
in the depths of my shadows,
all together now,
the world falls away.
My dreams come,
on beautiful landscapes,
with the people I love,
in the peace and the calm.
But suddenly there are holes,
blotches on my vision,
and the people turn to dust,
and blow away on the wind.
Fire engulfs me,
my skin, black and ragged,
stips off my body,
leaving bones in its wake.
Dark hands reach up and grab me,
pulling me under,
taking me with them,
into the depths which they thrive.
My struggles are in vain,
I am alone, unable to escape,
and I cannot keep my head above,
the lengthening obis.
I am choked,
fists clenched,
eyes clouded,
darkness deep,
screams of anguish,
and then my body grows limp.
Pain is all that's thriving.
How could all this suffering,
come from what once had been,
a happy place where dreams come true,
my sanctuary within.
My eyes shoot open,
my breath is ragged and quick,
a tear mingled with sweat,
trickles down my face,
I'm back to reality,
but this world is no better,
I still find myself,
unable to breath.
For it is only in death,
when I will be free.

I don't know what to say, and yet I want to comment. It left me in tears, there's a start. Ever read a poem where it feels like it should of been written about yourself? that's this one.
You don't want sympathy, I know, I've been there. And I know that it's not going to be alright, so I won't tell you it will be. But things change. They get better. I swear.
This is a really good poem. I hope I get to read more of your work soon... |
