Looking into the darkness
but I know,
I don't really want to see.
I don't want,
to see those glaring eyes
looking back at me.
I walk alone at night,
through my house.
Watching around corners,
preparing myself
for something to jump out,
and pounce.
I know all the signs,
and I know
how I feel.
I can sense them,
getting closer
and I try to avoid,
that evil exposure.
Am scared and I try,
to calm my nerves
but then am reminded,
in how many times
this occurs.
So I have to sleep,
with the bathroom light on.
I just can't wait,
until it breaks early dawn.
I keep asking myself,
why does it want me?
And then I hear,
the cry of an..
Angry Banshee.

this is wonderful! I can unfortunately relate with my Insomnia and light sleep paralysis. I don't become as paralyzed as much as I see the "sleep paralysis demon" though.
omg, you know that's why I write about it,, because I know am not the only one and some people will look at me crazy.. I have had night terrors though since I was very young. but nice that you could identify but not the paralysis.. LOL
yeah it's a lot to endure
Great poem again there Raven, well put together. I like it, but I don't relate to it at all, I sleep like a log most of the time. Glad to see your back in action again though !
Thanks my friend, I told you am slowly getting back in the swing of things.. I can't just lay there and die..
I would certainly hope not either, You can't have a good girl going down that far for at least another 25 years or more !
Doh! It's only someone having a bad hair day! I've watered down the tone of this poem now! lol. Do shut up sometimes Orchi. heehee.
Don't worry about that old fogey banshee.
LOL, no orchidee I don't.. I call upon the good Lord when I feel any sort of evil coming my way
Thanks R. lol.
I have terrible night terrors sometimes! I just don’t know what they are about! I never remember which I probably a good thing. Great write Raven, i it’s good to release that pent up emotion and it’s good to know you are never alone!
Yes my friend, you would be surprised just how many people suffer from night terrors and you are right it is always comforting to know someone else knows your pain..
