A Poem

By Sean Jacque-JohnsonPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

My dreams are filled with nothing but nightmares...

Long endless darkness that I struggle to wake from

My dreams are filled with ever-blooming burning chaos, that is only quenched by my fear

My dreams are destructive.

They destroy me, with every ounce of their strength and then burying me in my own sorrows

My dreams are future, as they show me pain I shall soon endure, preparing me for the days of anguish.

My dreams show my mothers bittersweet tears before she took her own life.

They show me how my first loved turned and how my past came to light.

They show myself in a new layer of darkness... where nothing comes from it but tears and bloodshed

My dreams are constantly changing, mimicking my fears like a chameleon frightened. No, like lion or panther stalking their prey. I am the prey.

My dreams are my own downfall, because I believe in them.

Because sometimes they trick me into fake happiness

My dreams hold my demons that control me

My dreams convince me that she loves me

And convince me that my life still matters

They convince me that they won’t leave me

...

My dreams are filled with agony that one day I shall end myself

One day, not soon nor far. Will these bitter dreams go away
