I cannot sit here in silence and wait for this nightmare to end...

Nightmare
October 1, 2015

I can no longer let this nightmare take over
I can no longer let it control me
For it will eat me alive
And leave me with nothing
But a bitter taste in my mouth
And bitterness in my heart
Leave me with no desire for anything

I cannot sit here in silence
And wait for this nightmare to end
For it to be replaced by something incredible
I have to fight for adventure
Fight for unending happiness
Fight to turn this existence
Into something rich and meaningful
Something worth experiencing and savoring
Something worth being surrounded by

If all I do is sit in silence and wait
Then I will forever find myself in this nightmare
This nightmare that will eat me alive

You call it a nightmare because of fear or losing
something, someone or possibly yourself? Sounds
like you are in the process of sorting it out...Enjoyed
Lena.

Always,
Deborah

This nightmare is not happening at night. It is obvious that you wish to change things and I hope that you will find a way soon out of the nightmare you are in.
