Closed Fears

[maudesune]

A myriad of terrors bubbles from my spine

I climb out but it suffocates

And then I fall yet again



The nightly fears do not frighten me

For under the covers of my sheet

I am warm, I am safe

And the comforting lie of my dreams

Is a better company



It wasn't the night that frightens me

If I would be honest

It is the rooster greeting in the morning

It is the canine downstairs

It is the doubtful looks

The endless whispers

The self-derogatory remarks

That drives me insane



I am terrified

I am scared

Even a baby laughs when thrown up in the air

But a single touch

A single glance

Keeps me on guard

Where can I go without worrying I'll be safe



So I drop the painkillers in the trash

It isn't the pain in my head

It isn't the nightmares

It isn't the tears that come after

I just want my heart and soul

To be as it was when I was a child



A myriad of terrors bubbles from my spine

I climb out but it suffocates

And then I fall yet again
