She was Completely  shocked at what

she saw that day.

Everything just happened so fast it was like a blur of a person flew past her.

And attacked those around her but left her alone.

The whole time as she watched she felt frozen in time.

she opened up her mouth to scream for help but nothing ever came out.

She tried to move and go get help but her body was locked in place.

When it was all done and over it was totally silent around her.

She opened her eyes a little while later and realized she had dreamt it all and, was all alone safely inside her home.

Dreams

Advertisements

We all have dreams when we go to sleep at night

Sometimes were present during the dreams.

Other times we just wake up nicely refreshed from

A good night of sleep.

But not all dreams happen when your sleeping, some

Dreams are things you dreamed of as a child.

Your dream to become a writer, a dancer, a teacher etc.

There’s no one that can stop you from completing this dream

But you and,that’s only once you’ve failed miserably  and decide you’re done.

Or maybe your dream changes and,you fall back into love with a hobby you

Didn’t think would turn your life around for good.

Sometimes dreams can surprise you and, show you who you really are.

What am I fighting

Advertisements

For as I stand still here  

and look at you on this cold morning

and I wonder if only I had walked away.

Would I be such a mess with so many thoughts

flying through my mind at lighten speed.

Nothing is clean and I can’t grasp one thought

for my brain is starting to hurt as I fall down

and try to find comfort in this all.

Too much to handle and so lay here and stare

at nothing ,and I wish if only I had stopped when

the one and only thought popped into my mind

that night.

That changed everything and now here

I am pouring it all out and you stand there frozen

in time with nothing to say, and what good does that do

for me.

So I try to scream loud enough for you to wake up from this

state.

But instead all I do is break you apart into tiny little pieces as

you explode right in front of me and every piece of you I loved

comes flying at me.

And then it all becomes too much and I combust

Into tiny pieces and I am no more, like you.

But, it’s all just a dream and soon I will wake from this

nightmare of my truth, my fears.
