Best Poems Written by Happy Fable

Disappear

As I shut my eyes I am gone,
The parts of me that are known to the world fade away into the abyss.

As I shut my eyes they appear, 
The parts of me that are caged, like hungry, wild, rabid animals.

When I shut my eyes, I am scared,
They show me shadows of my past that should be long dead, I am filled with terror. 

When I shut my eyes, they paralyse me, 
My body is not my own, I scream and shout , LET ME OUT, but my body is still and peaceful.

As I open my eyes, I am free, 
My lungs expand and I can breath, I have survived.

As I open my eyes, they are gone, 
Their cages shut and barred, I smile, taking solace in this calm after the nightly storm.
