"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream." -Edgar Allan Poe


She knows she's not alone.
Yet she constantly feels like she is shut in.
Trapped, alone, scared.
Her thoughts haunt her in the dead of night.
She gets nightmares and panic attacks.
She feels like she's losing herself.
Is she really losing herself or just everyone else?

What road is she headed down?
When will she stop sobbing and fight?
Will she ever be strong enough to fight these demons?
Where will she go from here?
Does she continue or just give up?
What's happening to her?

She just keeps spiralling downward and she can't stop.
She's like a coil that just keeps unravelling itself for as long as possible.
She's going nowhere but down, down into this hole and she can't see the bottom.

I can't see the light.
I see darkness everywhere.
Darkness surrounds me and my thoughts.
I am deep and dark.
I'm a goner.


The author's comments:
This poem was inspired by my own thoughts and feelings. It refers to some problems I've been dealing with. It was written when I was in a really bad mindset one night. It's really just about life.

Not only do I adore the title I really love how you ended with a personal statement. Throughout the poem you dont really know who "she" is, until the end when you realize it is the author. Keep up the writing!X
