Dreams

I haven't written in years but, I found an unfinished poem and I decided to finish it.

Eyes wide shut in the middle of the day

I see visions that sunlight can't erase

It feels like I'm dreaming

Screaming, I'm scared of the demons I see when I'm not sleeping

They surround me like they're plotting and scheming

Playing like angels praying on my downfall

When dreams are scarier than your fears

When resting your body and mind brings you to tears

Everywhere to run and no where to hide

A prisoner of my mind with a sentence of life

My nightmares promise to free me

My own mind doesn't want to be me

Too scared to wake and too broken to sleep, I'm left alone to "live" the dream
