As the nightmare continues

It took me awhile to write this...not sure if it makes sense to others but speaks to me :) Peace

In the silence, I discover

Many times I was a vampire

Sucking others life forces

Looking for a building block

Trying to build a foundation

Looking for a meaning to life

 

And the nightmare continued

 

Then the heart opened

Seeing beauty once again

Yet forgetting the evil

It once possessed

Pain obsessed

 

As the nightmare continued

 

It was just a dream

I didn't learn anything

Now forgetting the good

Darkness grew

 

As the nightmare continued

 

Till all alone in the big bed

Only energy left is to turn on tv

Wondering why good people get hurt

Darkness grew, knowledge draining

 

As the nightmare continued

 

Anger, confusion, paranoia

Scaring all those around her

So she withdrew

conformed

Did what they wanted her to

Darkness grew, knowledge drained, empathy lost

 

As the nightmare continued

 

I wish to embrace the evil as well as the good.....

I wish for the pain, I want to feel the wind

I want to be whole

Again

 

As the nightmare continues?

. oh, that's stunning ... the completeness of life is reflected beautifully in your words ... and the intensity of your journey ... amazing narrative ... takes the reader into your world and helps the reader identify with your powerful insights ...

the journey within through all the characters we build through experiences both light and dark~ and yes you are right it is always about the balance~ the ying and yang of it all which makes us complete human beings capable of discerning one from the other and thereby stepping feet onto paths that will keep the scales of us in tune~

i like a lot. is it "empathy lost"? after darkness grew, knowledge drained...
i like the theme. A person does not know what to do, pretty much relate-able. The fact that you portrayed confusion and the unknown as a nightmare is genius to me. Great job.
