Nightmares
we think that they can only hurt us when we're sleeping
we believe that we can protect ourselves against their onslaught
we are sure that one day they will come to an end
but what happens when you live a nightmare every day
when you see it even in your waking ours
when nothing you do or say can seem to make things any better
you can't get it to go away
the same recurring horror flashing through your mind
until you feel as though it will never end
you've become so numb
that you don't believe you can be saved
that it will ever go away
what happens when your nightmare
becomes reality
how can we face it
wake from it then?
