Midnight Blues
I become enmeshed in my fears
Soaked in sweat and tears
Screaming and wondering who's near
Enough to hear
But for those timeless moments
There are no eyes or ears
Because dreams occur in isolation
So I don't know
What hurts more, the helplessness
Or the hopelessness
People reading this might think I'm weird
I scream in pain
In my deepest dreams
When problems rain down my day
And scream out my name
While flying in my face taunting me
Wanting me to scream in pain
And when I scream
I forget to pray and thus lose the day
Because then my outcomes
Are predetermined by my nightmares
And then,
The giantess from my sister's dreams
Appears and chases me across the plain
And I run but I'm no match
Because her stride is worth ten of mine
And I'm caught the moment I stop
To catch a breath
She says I'm all she needs for a meal
Brings me up to her nose and sniffs
And then I jump and endlessly fall
Screaming until I'm zapped out of sleep
