Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you.

Dark,
my world
full of menacing creatures.
I try to hide, to no avail.
Light,
there is
none, ever in my life, never
will I see the light, not ever.
No!
I am
trapped in my own thoughts, my mind
keeps me in darkness. I am trapped.
Safe,
there is
no safe place never, ever…
Where can I hide, nowhere, ever.
Free,
this is
a dream, unobtained fan-ta-
sea of anguish covering me.
Hope,
is small
and weak, there is none never.
Search, but it is not found, ever,
Find,
I will
find my peace someday, never
alone in my darkness forever.
