Nightmarish Fiends Poem by Mindy Brown

I SEEM TO BE SURROUNDED IN A NIGHTMARE,
A NIGHTMARE FROM HELL,
LIES MEAN NOTHING TO THE DEMONS AND CREATURES THAT RESIDE IN MY PERSONAL SLICE OF HELL,
I TRIED TO BE A GOOD PERSON BUT EVERYWHERE I LOOKED I SAW THE THINGS I HAD BEEN HIDING FROM,
DRUGS, SEX, AND ALCOHOL THEY HAUNTED MY EVERY WAKING MINUTE,
TEASING ME, SHOWING ME THEIR COLORS, AND MAKING ME CRAVE FOR THEIR SWEET RELEASE FROM MY
ENSLAVED INNOCENCE,

IM GIVING MYSELF ONE LAST CHANCE TO DISAPPEAR FOREVER FROM THE CORRUPT INFLUENCES THAT SEEM TO
HAUNT ME DAY AND NIGHT, SO YOU FIND ME COWERING IN A DARK CLOSET FOR THEY ALL SEEM TO BE
PURSUING ME TO MY GATES OF OPPORTUNITY, BUT IM LOST IN THIS TERRIBLE LAND, IM CRYING AND BEGGING FOR RELEASE
FROM THIS DARKNESS.IM SCREAMING TO THE SKIES PRAYING TO A GOD THAT I BELIEVE HAS FORSAKEN ME,
BUT TEARS AND SCREAMS MEAN NOTHING TO THIS TORTUROUS WORLD.

MY GRIEF SEEMS TO HAUNT ME DAY AND NIGHT MAKING ME WANT TO DO THE UNTHINKABLE,
FORCING ME TO WANT TO GIVE IN TO THE TERRIBLENESS THAT RESIDES IN THE FIERY DEPTHS BELOW,
COMPELLING ME TO WANT TO DO THESE THINGS TO ONLY LIVE ANOTHER DAY IN PEACE FROM THESE
HORRORS OR MANKIND.
