Every night you appear
in my dreams
why will you not
just leave me alone?
Are you not happy until
you hear me scream?
after all my past mistakes
have been shown.
I hear you laugh
mocking my choices,
then you decide to
share your opinions,
what would I give
to still your voice,
but then you are the ruler
of my mental dominion.
When I awake
your message is ringing
and I spend the day
with my head down,
afraid to go out because
your criticism is stinging.
shuffling around the house
in my dressing gown.
Staring out the window
at the world outside,
wishing for someone to
come and take my hand,
to unlock the door
and be my guide,
to tell me it will be alright
in the promised land,

Wonderful poem
