Waking to a nightmare

by adam   Feb 17, 2008


Sleepless nights, sleepless days
the nightmare will never go away
too painful, too cruel
yet too true

i try not to sleep
i try to stay awake
cause i cant handle
the dreams of peace

to wake up here in this hell
this is my nightmare
when im too scared
to dream happy dreams
knowing its all lies

sometimes i wonder
why waste my time
why stay awake
all i need is sleep....

    Seems to me genuine feelings of depression rather than a poem. It's structured well but could have been better.

    I have depression, and sometimes I can't sleep (I've had horrible nightmares) so I stay up all night, feeling horrible and alone. So this poem is great; it describes depression perfectly.
