nightmares

By sweetsarcasm •
my arm is red and burning
from all the pinching i have done
hoping it would wake me up
from this nightmare my life's become
here i am awaiting a sound
the sound of my alarm
the sound that would mean freedom
freedom from what my life's become
as i await the sound of freedom
i realize it will never arrive
for there is no escape from reality
no escape from this life
