Sweet Dreams

poem by: Jennifer Drake
Written on Apr 20, 2019

Leaking, oozing, she's dizzy, she's wet, her entire face.
WARNING!
As she begins to fall, air stinging the burn in her face.
HERE COMES ANOTHER..
She screams "NO!"
-"NO BEGGING! IT'S TO LATE!!".
WHACK.......
oozing, she's weak, Blood covers, blonde turned red.
-"I TOLD HER! "
Screaming as i make her bite down onto the concrete curb.
I see red, everything's turned red
there is no turning back.
They all come
They scream, they beg me to stop
as my foot digs deep into the back of her head
and before the chilling crack
I let go of my blood stained bat.
slowly..slowly I turn
theres no life in my eyes
I grin and sit next to her, I 
cigarette no lighter, damn..
I ask for a light
They stand there
their mouths' are trembling
they are all still in shock
i get a light
and take a puff
and
as I exhale... I'm smiling
but
dead as I stand
staring at me
they're all now so scared they don't know what to do
Now my face is blank
and I'm staring now
i stare...
...

cold so cold
into each one of their eyes
and when they start to scream
 the story just ends..

I jump, I'm gasping
it was a dream
I was asleep.

Fascinating poem....I never have a nice dream....always glad to snap out of them, and grateful that it was only a dream......I don't think I've dreamt of battering someone to death!....(but I have felt like it while awake).....hahaha...powerful imagery in your words.....

Thank you frank. I have always been that nice girl. Overly nice. The kind of nice that just takes from you ya know? I let it in to long before letting it out and thats when my dreams make me figure it all out afterall, our dreams are our most hidden selves in every sense of the word. Am i killer? Of coarse not... But there was a time i held on to a very angry, unhealthy hate for my goodness never being returned. I needed people and people always left. Disnt matter if i was my own mama. She would hate today and love me tomorrow. I had a very abusive childhood. Odd how age and our minds begin to mold and start sticking to that which we are used to it. I got extremely tired of carrying around 28 years of abuse with a bright smike and hopeful heart. I became vengeful and felt I deserved to be thst selfish.
