Enter Sandman…

[JustKeepSinging]

I wrote this a while ago but it still rings true for me…

Exit night, enter light

The sandman’s been visiting
Bringing nightmares again
When I wake, they don’t fade
They just drive me insane

All my worst fears
Played out in my head
I can’t ever escape them
Even out of my bed

They flaunt my inadequacy
They highlight my flaws
There’s no need for their malice
Whatever the cause

When it’s quiet, they shout
“It’s all your fault you know”
But life carries on
So I just put on a show

I can’t put them down
I carry these dark thoughts all day
If someone asks ‘what’s wrong?’
I can only push them away

How can I explain?
How can I show them the fear?
The doubt they would ever understand
Keeps me from allowing them near

It’s nighttime again
I’m afraid to close my eyes
Scared of what I might find
In my dreams again this night

The sandman’s been visiting
Bringing nightmares again
Tell me..
Will I ever escape from this pain?

That puts it so well, and really clearly.

Thank you ER 🙂 x

I am feeling quite poetic today too but I’m also angry and there’s only so much that rhymes with f**k! or t**t?!

Lol (sorry my dark sense of humour is also out today)

Love it. I had a nightmare again last night. Hasn’t happened for a while but rattled me.

Here’s some rhyming words

He’s clean out of luck and can go get to f***
I’m feeling quite flat because of that t**t

Sorry 😂

Love it too, both of your poems
Feeling quite miserable today so laughing helped

Here’s my little contribution;

Crying, laughing and swearing all at the same time
I am not poetic but I think this rhymes
I’d rather drown some of my whine
In getting myself a glass of fine wine
Than spending time thinking of that swine

GENIUS KIP!! Love it – am in that kind of mood today….grrrrrrr…

I love it JustKeepSinging. It’s great how we can express our feelings about what we’ve been through with poetry ( and toilet humour in my case). HopeLifeJoy that’s great! Whine wine and swine… genius! 😂 xx

KIP I missed yours! Brilliant 😂 ok while we’re on a roll…

My husband, he thought he was it
In fact he was just full of sh*t
He might think I’m a cow
Coz I’m happier now
Because I found the strength and I quit! Yay!
