Is This Fake Or Is It Fate

Nightmares...

Tears running down my cheek

They remind me that I am week

Though I may work hard

To build up strength

My mind if frail 

and lacks much length

Is this fake

These sights I see

The images passing by me

The fear pounding n my chest

The pulsing in my ears

It all feels so real

Or is it fate

Am I looking into the future

Of a life that much be

Am I staring into the face

Of what I can't change

These visions of death

These horrors of my dreams

They creep into my mind

So unexpected

They seep into my eyes

Like something is being injected

I feel my heart

Beating in my feet

I feel my blood

Pushing through my veins

With colours of roses

And the sweet taste of honey

These things all flow

With the fear deep inside

As shiny as the moonlight

As cold and the snow

These things slide so effortlessly

Helping us all

                   Let

                        Go

Very cool!! I'm not sure what made you write this and forgive me for making this sound something in a way not intended, but it felt like you were in my bed when I was younger and taking notes!! Not a good place to be. It would have been nice to have a friend sleep with me, but my "stuffies" all got their heads torn off, and I LIKE yours!! Mom, Meme', and my Aunt would share in repairing all the heads. Having night terrors that follow into your days is quite an undertaking, especially when nightmares alone are as real as they can be. Since I've started writing these "poems", even with a break of sorts lately, I haven't had any of these anymore. Before, it was about 5or6 times a week!! That 4th stanza is not a nice one to read for me. Reminds me of the "prep" I had to do before sleep came. Finding the door, unlocking the window by my head to jump out to climb to the roof, a knife under my pillow my mom never found, my brass knuckles I used to like sleeping with in a grip, and a picture of me smiling.... tucked inside my pillow case. This is a beautifully written poem, short and sweet, wonderful wrythm where rhymes and beats do not dictate direction, and your words "as I found out" are perfectly understood and assumed. Beautiful Stat!! xoxox -Your Mark

Thanks, I liked a girl that killed herself before I got the chance to tell her how I felt and it turned out she liked me two. So liking people has always been hard for me and now that I'm in a relationship and I love him with all my heart, I keep having nightmares of him dying :/
