A child so small
So innocent and weak
with a future oh so bleak.
It lies inside each and every person.
Some ignore and others simply cannot avoid it.
It appears in your dreams
always telling you mean things.
It tells such horrible lies
yet you see it as if it were true.
Oh dear child close your eyes and go to sleep.
Leave me alone for I am already far too weak.
Can't you see me lying awake at night?
Ready to give up on the beauty of life.
I am fighting with all of my might
but I simply cannot win this fight.
You tell me what is right
yet can't you see that it is not whats become of me.
I want to be free
To soar through the sky in my dreams.
No need to bind me child of the night.
I wish to roam free from the chains that hold me.
Child of the night please leave me be.
Is it really necessary to torment me?
I fear your arrival.
Must you come so soon?
Can't I please have a rest?
Your laugh a twisted sound.
It booms all around.
You smile so wicked and show to much teeth.
It is so scary and terrifies me.
I'll close my eyes and hope you'll leave.
Child of the night go to sleep.

PoetryNot just poems anymore, I guess. More like little things where I have no place for them. Basically the poems/short stories/rambles that appear in my head that I have to write down. Enjoy? Trigger warning, I think. Sorry for changing the title a lot...
