[hometext] => This was my first poem since Nuclear War and was written in June 2001 in the middle of the night. I found writing it all down helped me overcome my nightmares and fears that were ultimately just reliving my past. So, it became the first of many.
[bodytext] => Here I am again
Alone and in the dark again As I sit here in my bed this night too afraid to say goodnight For I know what is to come for me The darkness that sleeping brings to me The endless pain and darkness I fight The pain and torture that haunts me each night As I lay upon this bed so cold, so lonely, so empty Still I sleep.....despite what I know in hope that one day my inner strength will grow And maybe this night, just maybe I will have the strength within me to fight the demons deep inside who escape their prison every night and haunt me 'til the day I die Still, I lay in bed still sleeping but the demons within me escape again Oh God, the feeling of fear and pain Oh God, the hatred and despair I toss and turn, my heart doth stop and I awake again this night In my heart once more I am weeping unable to speak for the fear I am feeling The feeling of his hand so strong pressed against my mouth again Oh God, it feels so real this time, I wish for inner peace to be mine but yet again, I cannot breathe for the experience of this torture replays itself again to me over and over and over again the pain, the darkness, the torture again Oh the nightmares doth take me consume me, become me as I struggle to breathe again So, here I am again alone......and in the dark again [comments] => 1 [counter] => 158 [topic] => 13 [informant] => debz [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
