I can't see the ending My eyes are fading What can wake me from this Nightmare Yeah everyone gets sad sometimes Has some bad nights When you try to talk it out It gets waved off to the shelf Its just a bad dream Every single person has them who sleeps But little do they know, don't they know Most people wake up. And don't mess up what I'm saying, I know its not all the same for every type of pain. But for those with brown flowers in their hair Or a broken soul, stuck in despair Who are stuck in this nightmare You're in too deep You're forgetting you're asleep And these lies and these fears become you're reality Numbing the pain and your mind with seeds The monster who hides underneath Starts to slither and creep to the pillow where you sleep He infects your mind, your thoughts, and your dreams Whispers things in your ears that no girl or boy should believe And you can't wake up, at least not by yourself When the light from the window tries to drag you from this hell But you roll over in your cozy sheets, switch over another rosy cheek. Continue slipping into your own alternate reality. And its hard to admit to the truth, it was all in your head The dreams that haunted you in your bed,  you felt dead But you are not alone, whether you're without a home or famous and well-known Whether you still dread going to school or everyone thinks you're cool You are not alone, And you are loved. Don't give up. You scribble notes in the abyss, While others dreams of true loves kiss It goes like this I feel like demons are attacking me Inside out Don't even realize its happening These lies that they feed me That suicide will free me They know that it tempts me Why can't  I be happy The world is full of misery Full of pain and children screaming Out for an answer to their unending suffering My time here is only ticking Lets just break the clock Smash it to the ground Stop gasping for air and let myself drown My friends and family say they love me But whats the point of being when I'll never be happy Just give me a sign Tell me to keep going This voice in my heart This wind that keeps rushing I think I know who you are This voice in my heart Keeps saying you love me And to keep holding on Theres something greater you have for me thats worth all this suffering You say I know what its like to hurt and to bleed Believe me I know But I also know and speak victory Over you and these lies that you're living in I've broken the chains and the door to this prison So stop living in sin, addiction, know that I'm in to the end On the cross, I hung broken. I know what you're thinking… What do you have to do with me? What can you tell me that's worth still living The words "I don't care" have been put on repeat I've heard it before, from when I screamed in my sleep Just trust me. You CAN be free. But it takes time. Just find that reason. If you're willing to listen I'll tell you mine. Jesus Christ. He's not some made up nursery rhyme for the weak mind. He is my saviour, comforter, empowering source of life. God, the creator, might sound a bit far But He wants to come down to where you are and show you his scars. He wants to find pleasure in you and you to find pleasure in Him. Its a relationship, thats all it is. The hole in your heart you try to fill with alcohol Drugs, *** and success But its his presence in your life that will save you from death. It took me a lot of strength Aguing and self-hate But when I let down my walls of my shame Got down on my face and prayed I found that grace. At first I didn't want it, I felt like a fraud But if you don't do it for yourself, do it for God Because if you follow through with your thoughts Out of every single person, He'd be the most distraught. That's all I have to say You can take this poem and be on your way. I just challenge you with this. Before you take your life away Promise me this You'll get down on your knees and pray And listen to what the God who created you has to say.

Nightmare
