I fear the times when I am left alone
My thoughts return to horrors from before
The pain seems to have a mind of its own
It takes control and cuts me to the core
At night I dream of what should not be dreamt
What is the cause of the visions in my head?
Did Angels or demons watch as I slept?
Are they messages from someone long dead?
Am I insane? Am I losing my mind?
What have I ever done to deserve this?
A consequence of cruelty or being kind
What is the meaning I somehow missed?
However random or horrific they seem
I always pray that it was just a dream

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

&lrm;&quot;I&rsquo;m learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don&rsquo;t have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world: I run my world.&quot; - Beyonc&eacute;

"Are they messages from someone long dead?"

I think this should be "Are their messages from someone long dead?"

Just change they to their.. and that's all.. 

Great poem, by the way.. i like sonnets.. i rate it too...and this poem is kind of like my poem called Insanity...


(sorry, i wasn't able to count syllables.. )
