Nightmares

By imfine

So many of my past mistakes
So many of my fears
So many of my failures

They haunt me at night
They show up 
When I have no guard to hold up 
Against them

There is no running
I just have to hold still and watch
I can't wake up
In this loop of nightmares

Some things make no sense
But still scare the hell out of me
I know I am screaming
But is there any noise

Can anyone out there hear me
Or am I still in my head
Can I wake up
Or am I forever stuck here

    Very well written. Something we all experience I think

    I feel a very similar way. It's such an awful feeling, especially when you feel so alone in this world. Powerful write.

    This feeling is all too familiar. And yes we hear you. Great write, very emotional.
