Silent Screams

Last night

Last night
I woke up screaming
It took my awhile
to see I'd been dreaming
to see I'd been dreaming
What do you do
when nightmares taunt you?
when nightmares taunt you?
What do you do
When old fears haunt you?
What do you do
when the darkness scares you?
When you don't
feel
safe
in your own bed?
You bottle the screams
the tears
the fevered dream,
Hold the words in,
walk head high
smile on
What can you do
but walk on?
walk on
Hiding your pain
your fear
your tears
your nightmared dreams?
When old fears haunt you?
What do you do
when the darkness scares you?
When you don't
feel
safe
in your own bed?
You bottle the screams
the tears
the fevered dream,
Hold the words in,
walk head high
smile on
What can you do
but walk on?
walk on
Hiding your pain
your fear
your tears
your nightmared dreams?

Wow. This was so beautiful, in a very haunting way. I know it describes me, and it feels very personal. Loved it! <3

I'm so glad I could touch someone with my poem. I'm normally horrible at talking to people about things unless it's in some art form or other.
