Tired of dreaming Cutting swords, harsh words, Bloodshed, people dead, Walking on a vacant train, eyes with great pain, Pumpkins jump, a walking stump. Monsters chase, I can’t keep pace, Shut doors, waterless shores, Feeling sick in my mind, feeling blind, It seems like I am lost... Tired of dreaming, tired of screaming, Tired of your games, tired of calling names, Lies, deceit, anger, I am tired of your games, Tired of dreaming, tired of screaming. Thorns that prick, boots that kick, Floors that crack, days are black, Broken ceiling, can’t stop this feeling, A heart that’s bleeding, a path misleading. Kids fighting on the streets, poisoned weeds, Helpless tears, humiliated, needless fears, Closet of bones, a little girl moans, Black horses running, eye that’s cunning. Tired of dreaming, tired of screaming, Tired of your games, tired of calling names, Lies, deceit, anger, I am tired of your games, Tired of dreaming, tired of screaming. I am tired of dreaming, tired of screaming.... @Prasad.N 1st September 2009. All rights reserved to Prasad.N "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

Prasad, you have seen the unthinkable ~ the unspeakable. However, you have been able to write about it with painful clarity and passion. ~ May the screaming be replaced by pleasant dreaming.   Linda |

Yo Prasad, I know what you mean in thiss poem. I had recurring night horrors when I was young. I've given them up. This poem is well done. Bobby |

Hi Dear Linda, Got a book full of these nightmares, everytime I get them I write them down. At last I managed to put them all together. Thank you for your kind words.  Hi RDB, Sorry for making you feel sad, I usually make everyone happy. This one was long due though. Feeling much better after writing things down.  Yo Bobby, Thank you for your understanding, you do know how it feels since you’ve gone through the same. Thank you for your kind response.  Hi Artic Wind, Fighting it out. thank you for your wonderful support and positive words. Really appreciate it.  "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

Powerful write, dear Prasad. I do understand your wish to get rid of such nightmares. Maybe a short meditation and prayer and the visualization of clear, transparent, serene light before falling asleep will help to have happier dreams. I know what you write about. It happens rarely to me, but it happens. Just recently I literally fell of the bed while fighting a strange creature in a dream. I screamed while making a big physical effort to get rid of its disquieting grip.... and then I woke up in pain on the floor, stunned! That was truly disconcerting! And the bruises were big and painful! Wishing you serene dreams and tranquil nights! Love, Margherita |

Hi Lindsay, Good to hear from you my good friend. Sun is shining bright and things are much better. Thank you for such kind words and such heartfelt support. Really appreciate. Hi Yann, Really sorry for throwing out all my sufferings into words, promise my next work will be much cheerful and merrier. Thank you for kind words. Hi Dear Margherita, Surely I will try these tips before I sleep. It does happen to all of us I know, if not frequently,sometimes may be. Thank you for sharing your experience too, it does help. That’s quite a nightmare you had. Thank you for your wishes and support.  Love you all…  "Hardwork pays in the long run" |
