Nightmare

I can slowly feel my eyes closing,

Slightly drifting into sleep.

The atmosphere seems so peaceful,

And all images start to blur as I fall into deep sleep.

Repressed memories cross my mind,

But still I remain silent and numb.

The memories form into a film strip

that haunts me as I sleep.

I see myself crying in panic,

With no way out and no escape.

I'm alone with my own image staring back at me

I slam my fists across the image

and see it slowly crack and shatter before my eyes.

I'm nothing but a shattered dream,

Forgotten and lost in the cruel world.
