Take Me Out of This Nightmare

by shannon   Jun 1, 2005


Numb, I lay here in my bed
Pull the sheets over my head

So I will no longer see the light of day
No one can save me now, no matter what they say

I just want to lay here and close my eyes
Because my life is now just full of lies

Close my eyes and fall into a deep sleep
And the angels will then have my soul to keep

Why keep living when I have nothing to live for
It seems each day I hurt even more

I used to have it all
I used to have pride and always stood up tall

I used to have great friends
And so many great times that I wished would never end

I used to have a sparkle in my eyes
And I always had clear blue skies

No longer do I have any of that
I just gave up and left my life where it was at

All my friends have left me
Because the change in me, I was unable to see

Now my eyes are filled with tears
And my skies are black and are no longer clear

I need you now, where are you?!
I miss you so much, I only wish you knew

I know you are now up there, looking down on me
But down here without you, I don’t want to be

Come take me away,
Please, I don’t want the pain to stay

Please, none of this seems fair
Come on, please, take me out of this nightmare

    hmmm this one is a little different. Lets see here. You have a good sense of where your going in your poems and they really get there point across, but I think you need to expand your vocabulary a little more. In the ones I've read I've seen alot of the same rhymes. If thats what you do thats ok. Its not going to take away on your ratings, but try to challenge yourself to using different words. Good job though. Never Give Up. kilman = David B.

    To me you never really showed me how this was a nightmare you never tied it in at all. It was like you were just complaining to nothing and hoping the pain or hurt would end. You never constructed it to be a nightmare at all. Sorry maybe next time...
