As the day finally draws to a close,
and the moon guides my way to repose,
I will dream the same thing I suppose,
though its content I will not disclose.
I continue to pray for release;
for a time when these nightmares will cease.
My anxieties start to increase.
All I ask for is one night of peace.

Nice to see someone get a little fancy with the meter. Well done. And you used a fairly tough rhyme scheme and didn't make it obvious, which is wonderful. Worked well to build the intensity of the poem.
Thanks for entering.

Fantastic rhymes. Love the beat, flow as well.
Like the subject context, enjoy the second line the most. That's the most calming and peaceful I think.
