Poem

I am being haunted
By these words which I am about to share
They are coming to me nightly
In the still darkness of my sleep...
These words keep haunting me.

I try to rest...
I try to sleep...
They won't let me rest
They won't let me sleep
These words keep haunting me.

I don't know where these words
are coming from
They just won't let me be.
They just keep coming and coming and coming...
These words keep haunting me.

I try to escape these words
Banish them from my mind
But these words will not agree to that
They then show up a greater number of times
Sometimes twice or thrice during my night's sleep.

I just have to keep writing
Writing down all of these words
To get them to stop inhabiting my head
To leave alone my tired mind
I have to get these words to stop haunting me.

Once put down to paper
These words seem to leave me alone
Once someone can tangibly read them
It seems these ghosts have found a home
And then these words do stop haunting me.
