Poetry: Fear

Dark delirium drowning in a dream,
Erratic heartbeat thumping in my chest,
Invented feelings...make-believe distress,
Muscles strain to contain a silent scream.
Fighting a battle never to be won,
Insomnia riddles my restless mind,
Searching for answers that I cannot find,
Subconscious struggle to *not* come undone.

Complex hysterics and aggravation,
Lead to a road that twists and turns and winds,
Weaving visions of death and destruction
Wrought by a plague of my own ill design,
Searching for solace...I seek...and find none.
Sleep will escape through the sweet hands of time.

    Beware the ones that call you, "Dear,"
    and whisper Shakespeare in your ear.

    KIND OF CREEPY

    I hear voices, when I'm all alone;

    When I turn around, the sounds are gone.
