Fear of the night
Posted on | April 22, 2010 | Comments Off
It is supposed to take the racing thoughts away…
To bring clarity to a cluttered mind…to bring hope.
Quickly, it melts beneath my tongue, bitter, numbing, I shiver and gag.
I begin to lose control of my body, but not my mind.
I feel drugged, I am heavy as if huge weights have been placed upon me.
I am scared…there is a moment of no control.
I don’t know what could happen… I feel vulnerable…and then…
I am waking up, groggy, it is morning and I must go about my day,
But I fear the night.
