Pic1000: The Devil In Her Dreams.

What do I see?

I see a person wearing a scary devilish costume.

What do I feel?

I felt a shiver run down my spine as I could relate to sometimes running away from dealing with inner conflict.

POEM

Laying on her bed,
Natasha stared at the coating on the ceiling,
"Can I resolve this?",she asked no one in particular,
She shook my head not knowing the answer,
To the question that plagued her heart.

Drifting off to sleep,
She found herself lying in an abandoned house,
A sense of dread washed over her,
Her heart palpitated within her rib cage,
She felt like she was being pressed.

Then, she saw a mysterious figure,
Advancing towards her,
She tried to scream but her voice was faint,
Her body felt weak,
She tried moving but her legs failed her.

Suddenly she woke up,
Drenched in sweat,
Sheets damp with moisture,
Her clothes clunged to her flesh,
Not again!, she exclaimed.

She knew she mustn't continue to run away,
She must face her problems head-on,
Take the bull by the horn,
Do all she can even while afraid,
Then, maybe she can finally find peace.

Thank you for reading.
