Nightmares

I can feel them coming…
the dreams
They come in the night
to haunt my sleep

But tonight I’m ready

No
I am, really…

They are right, in their presence

It’s okay

I’m okay…

I understand them
I am at peace
with them
My mind… it… can rationalise…

No, it’s okay…
Tonight…
Not tonight
they won’t take me… tonight…

please don’t take me tonight…
