Nightmare Poem by Jessica Robert

She's drowning in a pool
Of her own self hatred and heartbreak
She only finds one way out of it
Dark thoughts cloud the light in her mind
The diamonds no longer fall from her cheeks
And shatter on the floor
Her eyes close and suddenly she has something sharp in her hands
She takes a deep breath, readily
She pulls it to her throat and slices a line
Blood pools around her in a dark cloak
Her breaths becomes shallow
She can hardly breathe
She can hardly feel her heartbeats
She's dying and she wishes she could take it all back
She's too young to fall with the dead
Her eyes suddenly snap open
Her breaths ragged, she looks around her room
She can hardly believe it was just a nightmare
But she's alive and that's how she plans to stay
The darkness fades into the back of her mind and the light shines
She see's the right path of life,
She promises herself, to follow it to the end
