Facing a Nightmare

I had a nightmare late last night,
a frail woman stood at the foot of my bed.
She appeared so worn and damaged,
with her blackened eye and wild hair.
Without any words she begged for strength
then she cried to me in silence.
When I awoke to the morning and the rising sun,
I moved the mirror to the wall behind me.

Great write!

Only those strong enough to survive the reality can face the nightmares and know them for what they are.

It's been over 3 years since

It's been over 3 years since "The Dark Days"; I continue to write about them for "therapeutic" reasons.

All the rainbow/love writings are fairly new……I’m happy now; but I will continue talking, sharing, letting it all out. No more hiding from friends or family….it’s good for me.

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY.....(thank you dimple man)

I don't know if our

I don't know if our nightmares ever leave us, but only those strong enough to survive can have nightmares, or so a wise man once told me.

Indeed it is! Let it out in any way you find acceptable! To bottle it up is to poison your soul. And you have a beautiful soul! ;-)
