Visions of Torment
by MRW


Weird Words flutter around inside my head.
Visions, nightmares torment me when I go to bed.
Nothing can be said,
Nothing can be done.
I am the only one
who knows why I see what I see
And what battles have caused me to bleed.

Ghosts haunt me each night.
My fears take flight.
But no one can help fight,
No one can cheer me on.
Soon, my stress will be gone
Revealing the true me.
Someone the world just can't see.

As the war wages on, taking me along,
I hear a strange new song.
The song of an enemy,
slowly, but surely stalking me.
And I am the only one
Who can fear, understand what I see-
Fighting a war that can't be won.

The visions tear into me
I awake into reality
Trying to escape the horrors of dreams.
The sun dances on the ceiling beams,
Shining, glowing, giving safe light,
Sealing up my nightmare good and tight.
At least until night.
