The recurring Nightmare
Empty, alone, sad
My bitterness is growing
As I get mad
Lost, scared and confused
I am not sure, who I can talk to?
He gawks and he glares
What is he looking at?
Does he think I care?
Anxiety, depression and hurt
I feel my heart pace
My emotions soar
As I kick the dirt
I want to smash his face in
I don't want to let him win
He slaps me and I fall to the floor
With a belt he let's out a good whack
He can’t win in my dreams
I won’t be abused again
I won’t be used again
I have a voice now
I am safe now on my bed
I can even punch him in the face
Can I stop these nightmares from recurring?
Author notes
I worte this based of the emotional feelings I have after a night mare that keeps happing.

this is pretty deep, although portrayed as just a dream it speaks volumes of truth that goes on everyday. I think you have penned a dream that is seen by many over and over again. well done

i hate night mares....
my little one calls them" night dreams" so that they are not so scary to him...
thanks for sharing this piece , though i hope your night mares go away -
Hey Amanda!I like this poem but it's really sad. You know, it breaks my heart to see those I love hurt or in danger. I really care about you and wish I could take all your pain away. Another year is about to begin, let's make some goals and get some things accomplished. I know you had a rough life, a rough childhood and I know you're still going through a rough time but things always get better. I am here if you ever need to talk. I love you girly!
