Overcoming (Poem)

I lay awake at the dead
of night.
The darkness looking over my bed.
My mind not at ease due to the fright.

I pant. I sweat.
Alone or together, the nightmare forever lasts.
sadly nothing is over yet.
I cry while my breathing is fast.

And still, I cannot sleep
in fear of my imagination
In the night, I weep.
My mind's creation

I cry more and the tears run.
Silence is all I hear
The nightmares ruin all the fun.
Suddenly, there's a whisper in my ear.

I jolt up, screaming.
I look around.
My vision beaming
from corner to corner looking for what needs to be found.

Nothing is there.
I am scared
How is any of this fair?
The voices in my head get blared.

Anxiety fills me
in fear of my imagination.
Maybe it's meant to be
My mind's creation
