Nightmares

Twisted nightmares
Fed from my darkest fears
That wakes me up wishing 
That I never arose, 
This is not a sad poem though, 
Merely one of contempt
The hatred burns 
The hatred dances 
But I never wish it away
For joy  is out of my grasp 
Currently
And numbness is an escape
The fire burns steady,
I hold my hands to the flame
