Poetic Verses
The Darkness of My Mind
The shadows keep me awake
in the middle of the night.
They paint a scary picture
and the image is in sight.
It becomes an awful battle
and there is no counting sheep.
I lay quietly in the dark
and try hard to fall asleep.
My eyes stay wide open
and my mind sees much more.
Time is passing quickly
with thoughts I can't ignore.
I hide beneath the covers
like a child that feels fear.
Afraid that eyes are watching
and a monster will appear.
Sleep never comes to me
and daylight starts to peek.
Ready to greet the morning
I am feeling tired and weak.
The shadows have all left
but my mind still speaks to me.
Thoughts that won't shut up
keep me from being free.
I arise from the rubble
that kept me wide awake.
The war that was raging
was more than I could take.
I hope sleep and dream
will be my next big find.
After all that I went through.
in the darkness of my mind.
