Almost 16
April 15, 2013
I lay down to sleep,
but it's a nightmares keep.
I toss and turn all night,
fighting the morning light.
My eyelids are filled with unspeakable gore,
my feelings will take you on a winding tour.
Sometimes I'd like to run and hide from it all,
but I won't get far before I fall.
It's been like this since I was born,
year by year I'm more torn.
Now I'm almost 16 and can barley stand,
how much longer before someone lends a hand?
