Monsters and Dragons.
staying up all night, just laying in bed,
listening to all these voices in my head
hear them scream, and hear them whisper
looking at all the light, watch it flicker
watch it go out without a fight
like everything else, it took to the sky
can't tell the difference between wrong and right
instead of speaking my mind, I keep it bottled up and write
feel that my mind is in chains, behind bars,
too dark to see the light, to see the stars
want a new life, but I don't know where to start
want to leave this pain behind, rip out my heart
want to keep on pushing, but I don't know where I'm going
too scared to think, with all the thoughts that have been growing
too scared by this pain that's been showing
too hurt by my mind that left me on the floor with my blood flowing
I want it stop, just want it to end,
you say you were there for me, but you were never my friend
you watched as my sanity was ripped to pieces,
watched as it was spilt, now its gone, it ceases to exist
I'm nothing, invisible and invincible
you can try to get rid of me, but now I'm indispensable,
irreplaceable,
yet somehow still incapable,
of showing feelings, showing my thoughts
because I'm too used to the pain that I've brought
the mind that I had, doesn't work, it stopped
there's no more ideas to be had, no more emotions to be caught
no more smiles to be worn, and no more tears to be shed
no more wondering if I was better off dead
no more exhaustion, no more rest
no more thinking, no more quizzes, no more tests
cause now it's all over, I don't hear the voices
and I don't have to deal with the choices
I used to be happy, and used to be satisfied
but now I'm living a life where I've already died

This is a poem about my night terrors, how I feel and how it suffocating to be stuck in a position you don't put yourself in.
