Array ( [sid] => 41958 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My Nightmare [time] => 2004-04-05 23:46:12 [hometext] => It's just a nightmare..........or is it? [bodytext] => I'm mired in muck and sinking
As I struggle and struggle
To make it to solid ground
The struggle goes on endlessly
As my will wanes
And slowly dissipates
I cry out in loneliness
Anger
There are handholds
Just out of my reach
May as well be miles
Someone is with me.....sometimes
And I don't feel so alone
But then they fade away
And I'm left alone again
In solitude
I can hear others around me
But never clear and never close
I feel so lost and all alone
So severly ostricized
Cut off and cut out
From everything and everyone
And I wonder why I'm here
Then I wake
My pillow is soaked with tears
And I slowly come to realize
That it was just a dream, a nightmare
As I drag myself together
To repeat another day
Of loneliness and heartache
I pause a moment to reflect
Did I really wake? [comments] => 5 [counter] => 196 [topic] => 61 [informant] => thumper [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 20 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

My Nightmare

Rocking poem, I especially loved the last line,a question for which it feels like there's no answer. This was well-written, congrats.

"Did I really wake?" The eternal question of a depressed person. Brilliantly written, very strong imagery.

This is indeed written as a restless dream, with sweeping images and a universal feeling of loneliness... It's like the strange feeling you can have when you know that you are dreaming, but you just can't wake up... I can relate to that...
Wonderful piece of work.
Hugs,
Hur

How true. The nightmare of our lives. How often, as in dreams, we feel that we cannot end this, or control it. Well said, your poem made me think.
Take care.
