...Pierce

By SolApathy

.Pierce

Something dark in my dreaming
Screaming
Can’t’ escape the terror of my mind
In an instant
Blind
Crippled by fear
Something far darker than my own thoughts
Near
Lie in my bed
Paralyzed
Awake
Knowing it is still here
Escaped from my nightmare-dream?
In my room
Can’t be seen
Feeling it’s breath
Caressing my neck
A sharpened nail
Piercing the veil
Dream or reality
I can’t decide
Frozen
Nowhere to hide
My heartbeat echoes my fears
Pounding so furious
Praying for death
Torturing me every night
Fearing the darkness that is
...My life

Comments on "...Pierce"

A former member wrote: Oh yes, very relatable indeed. Anxiety attacks have repeatedly disturbed my rest, and for so long I stayed silent about them. Anxiety is very real, and at times it can be crippling. A very well written way to bring attention to this sometimes touchy subject. Queen Reb:).

...Thank you so much, there are fears that people don't understand....You shouldn't try; just accept they exist and do what you can to help them survive their fears.
A former member wrote: I know how it is. Excellent description of night terrors, or nightmares, or both. Always good to hear abject fear spilled into a poem like this. Again, very relatable.
