The Best and The Worst of Me

unnamed VI

I just want to sleep

The nightmares slowly creep

My mind slowly fogs

Like a small bog

I sit in silence

Scared of the violence

That surrounds me

Just like a saplings tree

Wanting to flee

But cannot move

Rooted

As the axe swings

And the cracking back sings

It's all over and suddenly I am awake

Hiding away from the darkness, I am afraid

Afraid of myself and others

Afraid that someone might actually bother

To ask me how I am.

I do not know what to say

If I tell the truth I will fray...

If I lie they will see that lie

And ask me why I lie...

I can't tell them I just want to say

Goodbye...
