Nightmares

Wow...I thought I was all alone
A four-eyed freak with no backbone
But then she told me she has them too
I wonder who she is...

She came outa nowhere just showed up from the blue
And I thought "Hey...I'm a little bit like you!"
It's nice to know you have them too
Wanna be my friend?

But I'm afraid my case is much worse than hers
My mind and body are nothing but shivers
I shelter myself so I won't have to explain
That my nightmares are killing me...

So I hide in my mind away from the world
I lock away my thoughts-keep them tightly curled
I'm waiting for that one person who will understand
I wish they would come...

I wish they'd come and take them away
They haunt my night and haunt my day
I'm always on my guard and ready to run
They like me for some reason...

So far no one's come to assist
So I'll just keep slashing at my wrist
In hopes I won't keep getting dissed
I wish they would come...

Now there are some people who think they can analyze dreams
They'll look you in the eye and say "They're not what they seem"
And actually expect you to believe what they mean
It's so hard to trust...

But what about me who can't sleep at night?
I'm 17 years old and still use a night light
So don't you tell me that my dreams aren't what they seem
Because I don't believe you...

There's got to be someone who can help me out
So I can sit up and look about
Without fear of my nightmares turning me around
And lookin me in the eye...

Till that day comes I'll still be here
Tucked under the covers and sweating with fear
Trying not to acknowledge my nightmares that are near
I wish they'd go away...

So you see my friend from outa the blue
If you hang with me, they'll kill you too
My nightmares are contagious, so they'll come after you
I advise you to run...

Because if they catch you, they'll kill you, they'll eat you alive
And leave nothing but the bones for your "psych" to find
For my nightmares are the physical but the "mental" kind
I'm trying to warn you...

But I think it's too late because you're on the floor
Curled in a ball whimpering close to the door
My nightmares have arrived, you should've believed me
I tried to tell you...

what'd u think? this was the criteria...
they had to be my age (not me) and it had to be 1st person. so i wrote about nightmares suicide and hallucinations
