THE FEAR IN MY HEAD
Silence,
As loud as the roaring sea
Echo’s in my head
Seeing the darkness
With no discernible features
Fear,
Creeping quietly
And filling all the empty space
Nerve ends tinkling
Wonder when will I be dead
Thoughts,
Master or slave
Of a mind filled with dread
A knocking at the door,
Is it death?
Sounds,
Creating pictures
Of things which are not
Really there.
Covers pulled tight for safety
Movement,
A door knob slowly turns
While I lay on my bed
Mama save me
From the creatures in my head.
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS
IT'S ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN.
