THE ANGRY BANSHEE

Raven333

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.

    • Raven333

      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

      • Christ

        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 !

        • Raven333

          Thanks my friend, I told you am slowly getting back in the swing of things.. I can't just lay there and die..

        • Justa_Geezer

          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.

          • Raven333

            LOL, no orchidee I don't.. I call upon the good Lord when I feel any sort of evil coming my way

            • orchidee

              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!

              • Raven333

                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..
