Faceless People

There are people

and they're waiting in my dreams.

They're faceless people

but they go to great extremes

to communicate

and to reveal

all of the secrets that

I wish they would conceal.

These faceless people,

well they hardly talk at all.

Instead they stand aside

as I march down the hall.

But then that march,

it crumbles into a crawl

and before long

I'm crumbled up in a ball.

If they had faces,

then maybe we'd be friends.

But these people will

haunt my night times to no end.

These faceless freaks,

they don't like to hear my voice. 

So they scream and shout

and frantically rejoice.

What are they cheering?

Not one will let me know. 

When I ask them,

they all start to loudly crow.

But in their eyes, 

I see a ghastly, evil grin.

I watch the sunset,

dreading for nighttime to begin.

They're cheering something.

I think I know what it might be.

And as they scream,

I wish that they would set me free.

This was powerful, creepy also. I mostly view people as faceless nowadays...as shallow as that may sound, but it makes it easier for my anxiety to think of it that way. To know that they don't know me, but feel like they taunt me in some way...joke about me, see me in a strange manner. Great write!

I like this. You should make it into a book, or a short story, I think it'd be wonderful as one.

I took the humanity out of this poem as well as the horror. After all horror comes from humanity. I see this as someone walking through a high school, seeing people and never really understanding them. They are faceless to many. This is true to what a lot of writers feel walking through the halls of a place they will never understand because there is so much more to life. I like this poem a lot

i like the way you interpretted this :) i tried to leave it open to however anyone wanted to view it. i really like that and can very much relate, as i am in high school at the moment.

Well i am sleeping tonight... so thanks for that ;), no really i normal dont like horror pieces, but this one had more than just horror, but a grace that flowed though it. Okay now i am gonna leave all my lights on...

[Not here]

thank you lol :) yeah its better to keep your lights on. although some things are like moths, in the way that lights being left on attract them *evil laugh* so youre welcome for that

A scary dream my friend. I dream I'm at work and working. Dreams are odd.
"They're cheering something.
I think I know what it might be.
And as they scream,
I wish that they would set me free."
Most bad dreams caused by stress. Maybe we need a long vacation. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
