Array ( [sid] => 152957 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Nightmare to Remember [time] => 2009-09-07 16:37:10 [hometext] => [bodytext] => An uninvited breakdown, a storm inside the mind
A car crash on the road of life that was one of a kind
The mind was clogged and murky; the heart was weak and worn
The soul possessed, and the union blessed
By the devil and his horns….

Picture for a moment, the scene inside my head
So many voices talking, how I wished that they were dead…
The black ice sat unnoticed, till I came across that turn
And was blinded by the sunshine, end of ride, now crash and burn…

Life…was so hurtful then
In that first September…
Crawling out from the wreckage
A nightmare…to remember

Ignored warnings, vision impaired
Friends and family, lost in fright
Sinking darkness, crushing boundaries
Finally blinded, lost my sight…

Lost and unguided, alone and afraid
Now forced to live with the choices you’ve made
Dark, and bewildered, hurt and enraged
Cutting all ties, vengeful thoughts now uncaged….

Awakened from the coma, I sit up inside my bed
The doctor couldn’t help me, unless I looked inside my head
Now just another patient, a therapy for the pain
A chance to learn to live again, and let go of what remains…

Hopelessly drifting, stuck in the sickening memories
Now I’m twisted and turning, and drowning my thoughts in self pity…
As I sit in the mountains, and pray I survive
And hope that this distance helps me stay alive
Endlessly searching, wanting to end all the misery…

20 days of lonely, the wounds begin to heal
and I write all of my anger down, and taught myself to feel
Drove alone into the southwest, and deep inside my mind
I’d write and sit for hours, all the thoughts that I could find…

Focused and listening, tuned to the sound of my sympathy…
Now I’m suddenly falling, lost in the thoughts of the misery
And I sit today, in control, wide awake
And the thoughts of the darkness that put life at stake
And the scars are my wisdom, a method to cope
And the words that I write still give me quiet hope
No longer searching, ended the suffering and agony…

Life is so different now
3 years past, a new September
But it will stay with me forever
That nightmare…to remember… [comments] => 3 [counter] => 250 [topic] => 48 [informant] => darkscorpio [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 14 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
A Nightmare to Remember

An uninvited breakdown, a storm inside the mind
A car crash on the road of life that was one of a kind
The mind was clogged and murky; the heart was weak and worn
The soul possessed, and the union blessed
By the devil and his horns….

So many voices talking, how I wished that they were dead…
The black ice sat unnoticed, till I came across that turn
And was blinded by the sunshine, end of ride, now crash and burn…

Crawling out from the wreckage
A nightmare…to remember

Ignored warnings, vision impaired
Friends and family, lost in fright

Finally blinded, lost my sight…

Lost and unguided, alone and afraid
Now forced to live with the choices you’ve made

Your poem was so personal and filled with internal dispair--I'm hesitant to tell you that I thought it was written well and that I enjoyed reading it. I wouldn't say enjoyed, I would say moved. I couldn't help but feel moved and apathy.

I'm sorry you had to go thru such an ordeal. Your last stanza sounds like there is hope--that light is now streaming into your heart.

Kye-
