To my Nightmare

Published on May 6, 2017

Everyday, at every night
You can’t break me down
I won’t surrender

In the stillness of the night
I hear you all too well
But I will not open my eyes
I will fight

When its just me and you
I’ll awake to find myself asleep
Every night we will dance and when I wake;
We’ll both disappear

I won’t fight no more
I will surrender.

I want to lay my thoughts out like a morbid canvas;Spread the brain,Press out the creases,And show you the vivid colours swirling …

    Happy Moments

    The Fountain is dancing to the beat and I watch it cheerfully.It sways to the left, right, and into my shallow hilarity.I never laughed that way to such, there must be some magic to it.And so, it waves here and there, and I, giggling from ear to ear. The Fountain is dancing to the beat …
