PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My restless mind keeps me up at night

Ghost of my past still haunt me

Plagues my dreams

Wakes me from sleep

Nightmares come to life

Almost every night

The angels are here to take me away

Voices teasing me gun to my temple

Taunting me to make it all so simple

Didn’t pull the trigger God got pissed

Take me off your Schindler’s list

The fight left tears and blood on the floor

My heart bleeds with pain that pours

Vulnerably naked as the day I was born

I want to take a risk but I feel torn

Repressed dreams come back with a vengeance

Emotion potent as reaction becomes venomous

Like speeding with nowhere to go

Heavy traffic but can’t take it slow

If you look for me and I’m nowhere

If you call and there’s no answer

Come quick I might need you

What links you go will lead too

I scream and no one turns to notice

This picture I paint is out of focus

I wear a mask and I wear it well

Behind these scars hides a secret to tell

Its been a hard truth from grace I fell

Live with my guilt

Emptiness can’t be filled

A quiet voice

Lost in the noise

Feel so much but can’t say a word

Screaming inside but can’t be heard

A straight face I have to portray

When it’s the only card I have to play

Never know what hand I’ll get dealt with next

Take it as it comes unless I stack the deck

Distrust in myself I can’t believe

How have I gotten to be so naive

My closest I’ve come to doubt

I’ve lost one thing I’m angry about

My ability to trust

I look at myself with disgust

I got away but I’m searching no more

Found out it was me I was looking for

Trust in myself is what I had to find

A residue of caution is all that’s left behind

When my back was against the wall they’d desert me

Now I won’t let anyone get close enough to hurt me
