The Nightmare Fades

[Jesse]

There's a nightmare flowing through my veins
Consuming my soul like a burning flame.
Infinite night and Im afraid of the dark
There's no light, no moon, and no stars.

Awakened, I scream- nothing has changed.
The cold dark extends its loving embrace.
Terror has grasped me and I cannot move.
Is this what I have let myself get to?

Fight. Fight it. I must fight this fright.
I pierce the endless void with all my might.
Searching for the light, I gather strength.
I look for courage and I find faith.

I can do this. I can beat this thing.
Salvation lies within my inner being.
I reach for it for I must find peace.
Though pain still stings, I bare my teeth.

Wading through the dimness I begin to find,
The way to peace and freedom of the mind.
The nightmare is thinning, crumbling away.
The light breaks through and I make my way.

Joy will fill those who will believe.
Just please sit down my friend and breathe.
The dark cant hold you, it never could.
It held me down, but then I stood.


My life is now my own and I am free.
Believe my friend and you will see.

-Jesse

I loved this poem! It's extremely well written and I'm a big fan of poems about darkness and such! I would pick out a favorite part of it, but the whole thing is pretty dang awesome! Good work!

Ty very much!

I've got a lot of different types of poems and dark poems make up the majority of what I've written. I'll be sure to share more of them

This poem is also one of the only if not the only poem in which I attempted to have a solid structure with.
