My chest tightens
As I curl up into a ball
I seek refuge
Under the covers of my bed
Anticipating the waves of life
To crash over me
I cannot dream without my dreams
Morphing into nightmares
I feel my panic rise
Along with the beats of my heart
I’m scared to sleep
I’m scared to wake
I’m scared to eat
I’m scared to work
So I curl up further
And wish myself away

I’m not much of a poem person, I only read your poems and one other blogger, Saya, she’s lovely (https://sayadpoet.wordpress.com/2015/07/18/lost-words/). But what I like about this poem is that I feel your words, I understand the meaning of them and I can relate to it too. You both make poems interesting for someone who’s not into them! Thank you 🙂
