Now I Live In Fear!

by Jennifer Fox or Jackson   Sep 9, 2004


My body is warm,
but still as if it were dead.
Blackness, swifting sharply,
within every vision in my head.

Silent hours,
within every dark evening.
Lasting longer and longer each time,
until I begin dreaming.

Having the same dream,
within every night of my days.
Waking up stuntly every time,
crying and then praying.

Is this your message,
of how you will plan to end my days?
I have got to know this now,
why does it have to be this way?

I'm scared out of my wits,
thinking of how I might die,
not knowing what to do,
besides pretend and just lie.

Forgetting about it during the day,
I remember it then again by night.
Now afraid of falling asleep,
I leave on always, my bedroom light.

Why are you torturing me,
with such a horrifying nightmare?
I have done nothing wrong to anyone,
why do I deserve to live in fear?
