My Nighttime Terrors
My fears strangle me in the night,
But I lay away putting up a fight.
I wish I could flip a switch and turn off my dreams,
Maybe then I might be able to get some sleep.
If I stare at the shadows reflected over my bedroom wall,
In front of my night light into an unconscious state, I would fall.
Or should I be haunted by this apparition of insomnia that holds me captive in my bedroom?
I see the sky lightening, and I know that it will be daylight soon.
I toss and turn, and kick and roll,
But going to bed always takes its toll.
So I close my eyes once more,
And sleep until I awaken on my bedroom floor,
The dreams and secrets will lever leave me alone.
So I will succumb to a subconscious zone,
Where all my memories are reality,
and my untold takes gain mortality.
As more magic seeps the darkest corners of my room,
Where I feel like everything will end soon.
Because what lurks in my closet is nothing to what hides under my bed.
But in reality, the scariest monster is that who resides in my head.
