Night Terrors

During the day
I could pretend
Paint on a smile

It was the night
The dark, deep night
That gripped me
Ripped me

I would fall asleep
Soon it would happen
Night terrors

Running
Caught in places
I should never be
Hearing razor-sharp voices
Taunting me

Days and nights
Quickly becoming a blur
Begging for rest
Blessed sleep
Peace from  the
Nightmare that
Was always
2 steps
Behind me.
