Nightmares

These nightmares
They Follow me around
Feeding off my fear and 
anguish
Falling in love with my hatred
Repeated everyday 
It changes as it finds more 
ways than one to torture me
From the people I love
To the memories I try to keep
But these nightmares
They fog these memories I claw 
to as 
I bang my head for changing 
the only beloved thoughts of 
my old life 
My old friends
My old thoughts
I lay in my bed
Fetal position 
Trying to comfort myself 
Rocking to the memory of my 
mother's voice 
Why can't I just live back to 
when everything was care free
When I was happy?
When life isn't revolved around 
one prayer that you wish that 
would come true
That would change everything 
for me forever
Is god listening? 
Can he hear my prayers of 
sadness floating like a storm 
cloud to the heavens? 
I cry myself to sleep
Dreaming of the past of my 
faithful memories
But I still wake up
And the nightmares repeat 
again.
