Endless Torture
Boom, crash I can’t
look
I have to hide my eyes
I’m watching a scary
movie
And I don’t know why
The plot is going to
change
The music is getting
deeper
I must get out of
hearing range
Or I’ll have nightmares
all night long
My mom says it’s just a
movie
But can’t she see
I’m terrified
So again I hide
My eyes stay behind my
hands
It’s too late
I can’t get the images
out of my mind
This will be a long
night
In my bed I lay wake
I don’t trust my dream
to be safe
Foolishly I fall asleep
anyway
Chasing,
running......Nooo!!!
Panting, breathing hard,
sweating
I need help, I’m
trapped
Huuuuuuu! Gasping for
air sitting up in bed
It’s was just a dream
A terrifying one
It’s over, I’m safe
But it’s not completely
over
Night after night,
it’ll happen again there’s no changing it
I can’t escape this
torture
It’s only four in the
morning, but I can’t go back to sleep
I won’t, not now
The fear, it’s
overtaken my body, I have no control, no choice
I’m afraid to shut my
own eyes
As fast as I can I turn
on the lights
Running there and back
Back to the safety of
my bed
This won’t last long,
there’s school tomorrow
My eyes are heavy
They will collapse any
second now
I need sleep
Giving in to my body’s
cries
I shut my eyes in hopes
I will be lucky,
Lucky enough to get a
wink of sleep on this torturous night
I wasn’t so lucky
Waking up again in
terror
It too late to go back
to sleep this time
I have to get ready for
school
Walking the halls
I’m tiered, unfocused,
a mess
I’ll be okay though
This isn’t the first
time
I shouldn’t be, but I’m
used to it now
Sleepless night after
night
It’s a pattern that
never ends
