Wrote this one almost two years ago. I blame myself for sleeping in this endless night I've been in the dark so long, I am afraid to on the light In the dark I am lost, no one can hear my screams In the dark I am found, because it's the only place I dream I sleep, I sleep, I sleep, I find my happiness I fear that if I wake, it will reveal as bliss That I have been chopping down my dreams to build a house of lies And I'm not quite sure I could redeem a life seen through open eyes The thing of dreams, is sometimes you wake up and forget What if I on that light only to find despair and regret |

This is, to me, a profound poem. It speaks clearly to fear and anxiety I can relate to. You did well in capturing fear and doubt red-handed and penning them to the paper! ~L |

"That I have been chopping down my dreams to build a house of lies" (I like this line) I admire the courage of this poem where something that existed inside you has come alive on this calm white page. Writing is truly a cleansing of wounds long hidden. |
