Heartache, Demons, and Nightmares
I Am Enough
I put my heart into us
I put my trust in you
And you ripped my heart out
Left this gaping hole in my chest
This dark place
This darkness is filled with my screams
My tears go unnoticed here
In between the demons whispers
And the dreams that turn into Nightmares
~
Panicking
I just want to wake up
I just want to feel safe
I want to feel loved
But instead, I’m losing sleep
I’m tossing and turning
Sweat breaking on my skin as I lose this battle
I just want someone to save me
~
I’m losing my mind
These years with you weren’t daisies and roses
Maybe that was the mask you put
You played the knight in shining armor
You played my heart
You played me until I lost myself.
~
Wake up.
Physically shaking.
There’s so much pain.
It’s so hard to breathe.
No one’s coming to save you
The whispers are crowding in
The demons scratching at the surface
I wear the scars of their talons on my chest
~
WAKE UP!!!
I’m screaming out
Hoping to drown out the demons
Hoping to stop these never-ending nightmares
Please, wake up, I cry.
~
Everything that you put me through
I’m begging Karma to give you a taste of your own medicine.
You took all of me,
And I nearly lost myself
I need to find peace
I reach down within myself.
My words become my weapon.
I’ll fight you until I can’t breathe
I’ll fight the pain you smothered me with
I’ll fight for the chance at a better life, more love, and to know myself again.
I’ll wake up from this Nightmare.
~
No more.
I am alive.
No more will I let your words poison me
You were the reason I learned to hate myself,
And today that’s going to change.
Today,
I AM ENOUGH
