Richard Tarr Poet Free verse

My Own Worst Nightmare

Everything I ever love
goes away in a blink of an eye
so I drown myself in a bottle
push it all down deep inside
I try so hard to lock 
my demons away but there 
slowly coming to surface
there turning me cold
now all I feel is hate and rage 
I pray for the day I know 
love and peace again 
I hope someone comes along soon
to wake me up from this 
nightmare that is me
