Poem -

As i lay there in the darkness.

As a little girl
i suffered many years of nightmare's
Enough to create an overwhelming
anxiety within the darkness of the night
Afraid to sleep
Awake in my bed
Listening to the silence
My own thoughts
constantly stirring within my head
Eyes peering into the shadows
Wondering what i was missing
With my eyes
That only my senses could see
Trying to focus on the shadows
To figure out their disguise
Tiering long hours
Eventually sleeping eyes
Then it would begin
The night terror's
only the hairs on my arm's
could display
My mind frozen upon replay
As i lay there wishing
they would go away.

Heya bazza, my son has nightmares and is afraid of the dark, he is a gentle soul, very emotional for a premature little man fought hard to survive, he amaze's me how smart he is, a very sensitive soul, i feel helpless at times , he loves to hear my poetry and it settles him back to sleep, hes alot like me, to admit at times even in my grown years some nights keep me awake in wonder, emotions have a world of play in perception,
thank you for sharing your story with me, love to you sweetie pie, Heres hoping for beautiful nights sleep to come xoxo your Aussie mate nardine xoxo

I like how you describe the shadows and silence I see a lot of contradiction and that is what makes this great! :) I like!
