Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.


Nightmares capture me in my sleep. Overpower the sweet dreams of counting fluffy white sheep. The demons they circle, they buzz all around. I open my mouth, but out comes no sound. These visions become real. All my happiness they steal. The demons morph into familiar faces I see them untying my laces. The strings that hold me together. Now cut, gone, lost forever. I patch and repair. I need help, but no one’s ever there. These demons they creep and crawl in the night. Sometimes I feel I’ll dies from pure fright. I kick and I scream. I tell myself it’s nothing, it’s just a dream. But when I wake, nothing has changed. Except for the fact, now my demon has a name.

I've been having a hard time lately, and I find writting really helps me release all the emotion I have bottled inside.
