Dreams

Dreams
These dreams that I am having are so wrong
I wake up cold sweet
Trying to forget
But when I close my eyes again there those images are

Why cant I control my dreams
They scare me so bad
Remind me of my past

I don't want to sleep at night
It scares me
Those images haunt my dreams

My past now controls my dreams
So broken
So hurt
So many scars
That just won't fade

So as I lay in bed trying to forget
I think of u

You are my strength
For when I wake up in the night
I know u are there to comfort me

As I pray to you I feel strong again
So I close my eyes
And back to flood of images
I wake up screaming
So much pain
So much fear

I know it's not your fault
With u by my side
I will one day sleep again

I know of which you speak, your words speak for all of us, for how many of us had just such experiences, my husband and I who have lived through many terrors, have had such recurring nightmare. I thank you for putting into word what many of us have felt , and sharing such emotion.

I know exactly what you mean!

I think we all have/had those dreams. Emotional and creative write.

Do something awful, and you never forget. These kind of dreams suck. It's a constant reminder...and some are lucky to have someone to help them forget. I like this :)

I know those dreams. You've done an excellent job of putting the pain and fear into words. Well done. If I were you, I'd go back and change those few u's to you's though. Love you Kev(:

I really like this especially
"Why cant I control my dreams
They scare me so bad
Remind me of my past "
because i think so many of us have thought these exact thoughts and its so hard to not let our nightmares consume us. this poem also shows the struggle of moving forward but having your dreams pull you back and taking you to all the pain and hurt that you want to pretend never happened.

Very good my friend. Nothing has power over the eternal Word. That is your shield from all fears and all threats.

My past now controls my dreams
So broken
So hurt
So many scars
That just won't fade

-couldn't have said it better myself, I know these feelings well. It's hard to run from something that's inside of you, and sometimes they never leave, I hope your scars will fade. :)
