In the dark of night, I ponder deep,
Why does it feel suffocating, this weight I keep?
Dreams haunt me, relentless, it seems,
Why do they persist, filling me with screams?
Fear grips tight, as I close my eyes to the deep,
Why am I scared to sleep, in shadows I leap?
Words elude, emotions concealed,
Why can't I express what's truly revealed?
Questions swirl, no answers in sight, I
n the silence of night, I continue to fight.
Why, oh why, does this turmoil steal,
The peace I seek, the wounds to heal?

Dunno - did you have too much cheese (or whatever food may keep you awake) before bedtime?! lol.
Haha, maybe I did! Either that or my brain decided to throw an impromptu dance party when it should have been snoozing! 😄
Beautiful. 🌹
Thank you so much!
Restless nights. Beautifully composed, subtle rhyme. I don’t have trouble with dreams, I rarely sleep lol. I am an insomniac and it appears you suffer from nightmares. What a pair we are :).
Sounds like we're two sides of the same coin! Restless nights and vivid dreams, quite the duo indeed. But hey, at least we keep the night interesting, right? 🌙😄
Absolutely 🙂
Nicely described
Thank you!
Carrying a burden and not knowing what it is, beautiful poetry!
Thank you so much!
Your subject matter by itself, the unknown can be fearful place. But confidence in yourself will eventually ease your mind and let you sleep peacefully. Well written Cloie. 😊👍
Thank you so much!
