Nights Full of Terror

Nicole Marie

Remember the vision you had?

For a split second,

That caused you to feel complete terror?

A thought,

That chilled your body to the bone.

You told yourself,

You would never survive the loss.

The failure.

The wreckage.

And you tried so hard,

Sacrificing yourself,

You stayed.

But it happened anyway,

And here you are,

Living the vision that rocked you into oblivion.

All of the nights of terror,

Silenced.

It was never what you thought it would be.

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only

Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice. We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
