Thrashing to and fro haunting nightmares as they flow;
Dreams of pain locked inside bursting free and open wide,
Soundless cries within the night fighting back with all my might;
Anxieties float free in sleep bringing to life things buried deep,
Creeping in my mind at night things I hide from myself in light;
Morning creeps within my room darkness laughs as it looms,
Cradled in its arms so firm I begin to battle hard and squirm;
Falling deep inside my dreams I run so hard and all but scream,
Blaring light surrounds the walls bringing wakeful morning calls.
There I sit up in my bed heart is pounding filled with dread,
My mind is blank and all I know is something happened long ago.
