The Witching Hour


It’s the witching hour
What do I want?
I want to sleep without the torment
Of his breathe
Of his weight
On me
The weight of him
Passes through time
Through death
He is one of a kind
Help me get away from myself
Sleep deprived
Dead inside
Why won’t you leave me
Be
Why am I the only one
You seem to see
Why can’t I just flee
When your chasing after me?
I run, yet I get nowhere
Nowhere and everywhere all at once
Into the bottomless pit of despair
That’s where I find you there.
You catch up to me
I try to flee
Yet my feet won’t move
From the ground that I stand on
That’s when you like to pounce on
Me
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
No one left to talk to
No one left to care
My family that once was
Is now never there
They have all passed away
Rotting in the dirt
They have all abandoned me
They were never there from the start
I feel that this is unreal
Is this reality or a dream?
Was this really happening
Or was it my delusional mind again?
I can’t evade this feeling 
That your hanging from the ceiling 
Just waiting to lay on me
Heavy as you are
The fear you leave is heavier, by far
Suicidal Ideologies are in  the past
Will that sustain? Will that last?
Raping, escaping
Why does your breathe linger
Feeling so depleted and depressed
Why can’t I just lay down to rest
These nightmares have me so stressed
I don’t sleep much
As you might have guessed
I try so hard to make you disappear
But you are always so very near
To me
I’m so dead inside
There Is nowhere to hide
Trust me, I’ve tried
I keep on slipping
Slipping  away
Sometimes I wish I wasn’t 
Wasn’t here today
Can you see the monster within
Within me?
I try to lock it in the vault
The vault in the deepest part of my mind
He is draconic, ferocious and one of a kind
He haunts me nightly
In my dreams
Though still he is always there
It seems
In the day, you’d think he’d be away
He’s always there, waiting to slay
You’d think he’d rest
To be ready to put me to the test
He doesn’t need sleep
He has all the energy to creep
Into my dreams, day or night
He lives to torment me and
Causes me much fright
You’d think I’d get bored
Of his same old tactics
But he changes over time
Creates new antics 
He desires to cause me pain and grief
He never tires, never giving me relief
His nails do pierce my tender flesh
He likes to keep his games real fresh
I cry out, I scream yet there are no sounds
The fear he causes has no out of bounds
He taunts, He torments, this is a game to him
He is in it for the long run. He is in it to win.
Day light illuminates the darkness
Where he resides
You think the gamed would be on break
But it’s not him who hides
He never tires, he lights the fires,
It’s getting hot down here
He is getting set for another round
Tonight, will be the start of round two
He makes it where I cannot win
He makes the rules and rules the world
In which I am in
One of us has to end this
One of us has to die
If not him than it, will be I

In The Dark, Sitting In Silence


In the dark, sitting in silence
Wishing this pain was gone
Wishing my mind would forget the violence
Memories of the past won’t fade
Though my life today, I wouldn’t trade
Putting on a smile to mask this pain
Feeling these feelings, feels really insane
Constantly hurting 24/7, 365 days a year
This pain won’t go away,
It could actually get worse. That’s what I fear
Not just physically, but emotionally too
I hurt all over, Inside and out
I don’t know what to do
I smile, I laugh, I do fun things
I want to see what this life brings
Though, I’m filled with so much anxiety
I can’t breathe
I just wished these negative feelings,
Would just leave
Most every night, the nightmares flood my mind.
The terror inside them, the monster, He is one of a kind
Living my life one prayer at a time
Praying he doesn’t haunt me in my mind
Don’t say the things, Don’t say the things
Delete this soundtrack, the horror it brings
These things keep on repeating in my head
I can’t control these emotions when I lazy in bed
The monster within, likes when I sin
I can’t lose control and let him win
This Demon inside me, Gotta keep him locked in
Leave him in the dungeons vault, locked.
Don’t hide the key, throw it away, locked
Control these emotions, control this rage
Focus, don’t lose control, or he’ll be released from his cage
Missing keys, broken locks
Uncontrolled emotions
I feel the urge to cry
Not buckets, but oceans
Can’t cry, won’t lie, feels so wrong
Leave me alone, 
No, I don’t want to talk on my phone
Tricks he plays, that Demon inside
Trigger alert! Triggers that hurt
Can’t stop playing this horrible soundtrack
In my mind, playing all the time
On repeat, can’t delete, help me!
Asking for help, but how can you help,
This twisted, tormented mind?
Feelings seep out, from my mind
Again there is this Demon, This Demon of mine
Nightly he hunts me, in my sleep
Nightly hours is his time to  creep
Hunted, pinned down, can’t move
Can’t wake up, He likes to paralyze
He whispers to me his truths. Just lies!
He won’t stop tormenting me
Until one of us dies
Running in place, can’t seem to move
I can’t win at this game,
He wants me to lose
Can’t breathe, I need to inhale
Can’t breathe this air. Why is it stale?
Why is this game set up for me to fail?
I’ve been trying to escape, yet to no avail
I’m tired of being hunted by this Demon
Tired of trying to survive this hell
Sometimes I think I’m making progress,
But it’s too hard to tell
I have to survive, I need to win, I have to prevail
I can’t do all this work for nothing. I can’t fail
I wish I can put all this behind me and just set sail.
Somethings got to change
Somethings has got to give
I’ve got to find a better way to freaking live.


 

When Nighttime Approaches


Sleep. What a novel idea
To sleep all night
Without a nightmarish fright
My tormentor is fierce, quick and precise 
He's draconic, evil and immensely quick to change his disguise 
At first, he’s pleasant as can be 
A friend by your side, so nice indeed
Day turns to night and into his fantasy 
That's when “he" comes out. He changes what you see.
He can be all sorts of shapes, beings or things.
Sometimes he can fly with his big, gigantic wings.
He haunts me most every night.
He loves it when there is no visible light.
Even after taking medication, he is there
I can’t evade his evil, ferocious stare.
He sometimes reveals himself as my tormentor.
The man who was supposed to protect her.
That innocent child that I was.
I was supposed to be protected by their love.
Who were they to torment me?
Couldn’t they just love and see,
That I deserved protection, even from them.
Couldn’t they see what they were doing was a sin?
Tormenting me daily and nightly, endlessly.
They protected my big sister but why not me?
I guess it just wasn’t meant to be.


 

Imposter

I feel like an imposter 
A figment of my former self 
Do I even belong here? 
Or should I be somewhere else? 
So far gone, feelings of doom 
Feeling alone in a crowded room 
Hearing the whispers in the dark 
No one to guide me. Must I embark? 
On this journey all alone Nobody to speak to on my phone 
Nighttime approaches. Afraid to sleep. 
The witching hour is his time to creep. 
Hunting me, stalking me nightly 
Escaping yet ever so slightly 
Being ever so vigilant 
Keeping my eyes wide open 
While keeping my mind tightly shut 
Buried deep under my covers 
Wishing for the morning light 
Escaping this villainous night 
Every dark corner I turn I scream inside, Oh what a sight! 
Feelings of death, dying of fright. 
Trying to survive with all my might. 
Seeing fully, and yet still blind. 
Can’t seem to erase his face from my mind. 
Taunting me, tugging at my soul. 
This nightly dance is getting old. 
When will the nightmares stop?
Will it be before I drop? 
We will see, time will tell, 
 What day will I escape this hell…

Am I Out Of The Darkness? Or Is This A Dillusion?

So much has happened. So many years have gone by. I've changed yet I am the same in so many ways. So many ways I am different. First I avoid lying. Though I wonder if it is me who is a lie. I've given my life to Jesus but I will always be a sinner as we all are sinners. So no cussing from me. It is actually a trigger now. Learning about those triggers. So many things will start making me go down that downward spiral again. I want to heal, I want to feel like I'm close to something real. I want to find somewhere where I belong. I feel like an imposter. I feel like a visitor in my own body. I've been waking up but still I slumber in an endless sleep in the void. I've moved twice. The year before last was a year in absolute hell. Now I live in a better place than that hell place. I don't even have the old computer I used to write these blogs on. Thankfully I have a better one. Thank you Jesus for the tech gifts I have received especially this year. So many blessings I have of late. I still have these dreadful nightmares. Can't wake up from them. The monster still hunts me nightly. Will I ever be free from his grasp? I have been in therapy. I've had good and bad therapists. Thankfully now I have a good one I think. Last friday was a year since my mom passed away. So angry that I didn't get to talk to her before she passed away. Then that saturday I got food poisoning. I'm tired of feeling like I'm never going to make it. So sick of hurting physically and emotionally. I hate feeling like this. I'm so tired of trying to fight this. I'm asleep and my dreams are of the terror that resides in my mind. Locked away in the vault. Can't talk of the terror, the pain that resides in my brain. Drinking Ginger Ale, feeling like I might go to hell. Is this life for real? I feel like I've wasted so many years trying to find who I am. I still don't know but I need to figure it out soon. I'm trying to find air to breathe again. Tired of this stale air that surrounds my ever being. I lost my best pet a few years ago. I adopted a stray to fill the void. I still have my girl. She has stepped in as my shadow now. The new one is getting more loving lately. Now I crochet, I knit, I weave, I paint and do calligraphy. I haven't written much since I last posted. Now I write more. It is good to get back into writing. I'll post some of them here. Am I out of the darkness or is this a dillusion?
