Uneasy

by Poetvoices   Jan 13, 2006


Sometimes I feel uneasy
just as I rest my tired head.
I can't chase away these feelings
that live inside my bed.

I tell myself I shouldn't go to sleep
just as I begin to fall.
I hear a voice deep inside me.
It screeches its audible call.

I feel like I've forgotten something.
Paranoia shows itself.
Shadows crawl out to consume me
from far beyond the shelf.

I feel like I'm about to vomit,
and I don't even know why.
I feel unwelcome in my own room.
All I want is a little shut-eye.

For the night, I decide
to try to forget how I feel
and sleep, because when I close my eyes,
the monsters aren't real.

Shadow and dark masses
still buzz around my bed,
but I can't see them from here
snug inside my head.

    I see what you meant. Yours is much more advanced than mine, and I think it's excellent. I know what you mean about the ending, although the one you've got is good.

    I'm dying to hear the rest of the poem. This is so amazing. Yadayadayada you know what comes next :D . Anyways, I don't think that this part needs to be in the poem:
    Will my mother think that I'm disturbed
    if I didn't stash my poems well enough?
    She would drag me to a shrink.
    This is sure enough.

    Good work. Keep it up 5/5
