Weary

Contributed by DragonLuvSong on Saturday, 19th June 2004 @ 12:02:57 PM in AEST
Topic: MiscPoems



I want to sleep but I cannot, the blinding light is piercing my lids.
Keeping me from my blissful dreams of frolicking in the fields, only to be crushed by the weight of the sun; keeping me down, holding me from my work as a dream weaver.

When the light is finally overcome by the darkness I can drift to sleep.
But this sleep is not restful, filled with my greatest fears, overwhelming me, I cannot breath.
I am suffocated by my nightmare, I cannot wake; I stay, feeling murderous hands on my throat, choking me.
I wake up, coughing, sweating, wondering.
Was what I experienced reality?
I become calmed, once again swept into a sleep so frightening I awake lurching out at my attacker.
To find that the sand-man has once again mystified me with his fantasies.

I am afraid, I cannot sleep again.
I choose to roam, walking as if in a trance, not seeing, yet understanding so much more.
I come to a place unfamiliar, there is no exit, I am trapped.
The walls are white, anxious, I am overwhelmed by pain.
I cannot go on, I fall, going into a state of unconscious, I am gone.

As I wake, I am presented with the image of a man.
I cannot make out his face, I am blinded, the light so strong.
I am out again, I feel nothing, know nothing, just exist.

I am alone, it is dark, I am lost.
Yet this place is familiar, I recognize the place I am in, it is my own.
It seems that this was all an illusion, a trick of the mind.
I am terribly confused, tired, I can finally rest.
