The Nightmare In The Shadows

I want to get out of this nightmare
I want to feel the happiness again
I don't want to see
Pain
Fear
Loneliness
Hate
And anger
Everywhere I look
I want to feel the sun on my skin
Not hide in the shadows
I want to take off my mask
And show people my bruises
My broken heart
And my battered trust
But I've been denied exit from this nightmare
But I don't know if I can live through it anymore
I've finally realised that this nightmare exist
But now it could be too late to do anything about it

i love the title. It is good to write out the nightmares. Writing is cathartic. I am glad that you are expressing yourself through poetry. You have a talent.

it's not too late. bear your wounds with pride. you have suffered and made it through. i loved this poem, it's raw and real. continue writing, sometimes it helps purge those negative feelings.
