Anxiety Nightmares

Chase away the monsters that appear at night,
When the shadows start to stir I hold up the light,
Unable to see the with my bare eyes,
But I know they're still there, only out of sight,
Hear a faint voice that comes from within,
Never says anything that makes any sense,
My sanity sinks and so does my heart,
When did I become so afraid of the dark?
The worst is yet to come, the silence screams in my head,
Close my eyes and count the sheep,
We're not talking, God and I, but I still prey for sleep,
Slip into dreams and calmer places,
Then something wakes me, the demons I've created,
Cling to the feeling of exhaust,
Next I know I'm confronted by the alarm clock,
The panics gone, my sanitys back,
It's as if nothing's wrong, and I never had an attack,
But there's still a lingering voice in the back of my mind,
" You smile now, but I'll see you tonight "
