Haunted by fear

Paralyzed

Frozen

My body twitches violently

I let out a silent scream

 

Falling water cascading

Down my frightened face

Battling constantly

Against nights of deep unrest

 

Tired of fighting

Oh so very tired of fighting

Afraid

I don’t feel safe

 

I lie there wondering

How much longer?

How many more nightmares?

To steal my sweet rest?

 

I am oh so very tired

Of battling these nightmares

I want to give up

And sink into

Death’s welcoming arms

No! Fight the good fight

Only I don’t know how

 

Help me please!

I am so very tired

Of waking 3 to 4 times

A night from the terror

That creeps around my mind

 

I want to feel safe

I don’t want to be afraid

Please help me

I don’t want to fight the

Demons alone anymore..
