Bad Dreams 2: The Awakening

(Please read the original Bad Dreams before this as this is a continuation of the first poem... Otherwise it won't make much sense) The laughter has finally ceased My eyes hold me captive I see I'm at the bottom The darkness has entrapped me I survived the fall I can't see where I'm at I'm feeling all around me Trying to get back Hoping for a handle A ladder or a rope The only way back is up Will to live my only hope Fist goes to the mirror Hand destroys the glass I'm back in my own world Now nothing keeps me trapped Seven years of bad luck Seems a worthwhile trade Knowing now I can never look At my eyes that will enslave

Thank you. I'm glad that you have enjoyed my writing. I'll be posting more tomorrow. I'm also taking suggestions on a topic for my next project if you care to weigh in. Oh and when you say that was a bad one are you saying that the writing was bad? Or is it bad meaning good? I'm just curious.
