a blinding dark

a blinding dark

twisted rage within my dreams
the only one that hears my screams
i can't wake up the pills induced
the nightmare that i'm fighting through
trapped within this slumbered shell
can't break from this nightmare hell

a thrashing blast of breaking limbs
can't match the pain i feel within
my blinded eyes fear the dark
can't match the aching in my heart
the racing thoughts in my head
scattered images of being dead

i scrape the dark out of my eyes
to show myself that i'm not blind
but what i see in front of me
a blackend fog and misery
my eyes are blind to everything
the darkness is all i see


with blacked eyes my mind still thinks
inside my head my brain still bleeds
drowning me the flowing blood
overwhelmed by this flood
with no relief i cannot last
the thoughts inside of time that's past

tortured here while i am sleeping
deep inside my soul is weeping
with broken wings i cannot soar
above the dark and violent war
that continues on inside of me
locked inside my nightmare dream


i use to wake from violent dreams
i could wake with my own screams
but the sleep that these pills induce
keep me from breaking through
these nightmare dreams within my shell
and keep me trapped within this hell

Yikes, stop taking those pills. I think this needs a little work, but very good poem. I too have had nightmares like this. I don't get the "scrape the dark out of my eyes" part. Maybe I am to concrete. Please read my "They Screech" Poem.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
