Nightmares


What of the shadow that moves through the trees? The darkness you're not sure you've seen. A movement, a whisper, an eerie stiff breeze A nothingness, nightmare, a dream. A flickering horror who jumps in the night, A demon who feeds on your fears. The product of irrational childhood fright, A monster who thirsts for your tears. A thought and a worry, A small seed of doubt- planted deep in your mind it will grow. But maybe I'm wrong, and it is just a branch.. It could just be a shadow you know.

I wanted to write something that would make people question their own thoughts. I don't want anyone to read poetry and forget it, I want it to stick. That was my mission with this poem.
