#self-injury poems on Hello Poetry

Well I've tried to sleep, but sleep won't come.
Will the evil come back for me? It might.

The thoughts of them are in black and white
and they're a warning light.

Why can't they just leave me alone?

I can't escape my horrid dreams,
oh they follow me until all I hear are screams.

They're drowning me in my own tears,
as I go down all I see is my fears. Fire
spreads through the crowd, and I fall to the ground.

Will the evil come back for me?

Breach of Trust Feb 2014

I Remember

I blanket myself within torment and pain,
Refusing to peek into the ever soft light.
I tear at my flesh with a blade,
Hoping that doing so would end my fright.
I cry myself to sleep using my tears as lullabies,
Only to sleep a nightmare filled never-ending slumber.
I wake forcing my limp body out of bed,
Knowing that by nightfall the sorrow that the day would bring,
Is the only thing that I'll care to remember.
