a stranger
my new best friend
a ray of light
in my institution
~
in the dark
am I dreaming
from talking
loudly stalking me
~
alarms
ringing halls
in single file
climbing walls under beds
my brother’s shadow
talks me down the ledge
~
hide me
in a room with a camera
where they’ll never
never
find me
~
close my eyes
and dream
just dream
~
I admit… this one is inscrutable…but the images it elicits are of a prison.
a recurring nightmare …
also still trying
to figure it out …
~
maybe about
seeking protection
unsure
of trust
Nightmares are terrible, but they usually mean something if they keep on appearing. Hope you find out what it is.
Is the drawing yours? It’s amazing. I liked the poem too; it’s very evocative.
yes

LOVE the artwork! Truly amazing!
As for the poem, I see from the comments it is about a recurring nightmare .. knowing that really helps with the poem …
I think most of us have one or two recurring dreams .. both good, and nightmarish …
I’m not sure we’re always supposed to know what they mean …. sometimes a dream is just a dream, the imagination having free reign to play.

Very very painful, and crazy.
Great picture.
