Camille Hollis

Nightmare

I walk through rivers, valleys, forests
Exploring all my thoughts
Dreaming peacefully
Things made up and memories
Talking to friends and enemies
Living life again
Because nightmares don’t happen in my sleep.
The darkness nagging at my mind
Does not speak of fabled worlds where
Mythical monsters come alive
My reality is outside
The safety of my imagination
Where I control nothing
And am controlled by everything

(2013)

Warm

Sitting on the bed And sometimes laying down The chill from the AC Is too uncomfortable I recoil from the breeze
Friends

Ten times more They whisper hate And I wish they would stop Because of late I’ve seen these people
Tedious

To tell the truth Most things are easy And I’m the one To destroy simplicity And blow things far
Alternative

Sometimes I feel myself Willing to cry And sad over nothing I can remember That would make me upset
The Most

I want to be the one You tell your problems to, Because no one else seems to liste… I want to be the one Who understands you,
Music

I’m like one of those people Who says that music is my soul Except it’s not Because music is meaningful And music drowns out noise
Care

Walking talking depression Who’s too big around the waist Saying you’re messed up But what I’ll never understand Is how you think that you’re
Not Perfect, Not Alone

I pretend I know everything, Or that I can do anything, But I don’t, And I can’t. Sure I may act
Depression

My sudden bursts Of depression Are like a typhoon Flooding a small island Or a hurricane
Passing Time

Passing Time I spend my days Falling through the glass That is our fragile world Chasing something
Beneath the Mask

People walk Down the streets, Seeming happy As can be, Or maybe sad,
Forest

Running through a forest Of never ending trees And everlasting green Some people fall And some turn back
Scrying Glass

Eyes are shifting Slowly sifting Through the darkness Of the scrying glass, Hours spent staring
 1
Sound

The air conditioner blows On high And the sound Reminds me of small monsters. A clattering starts
Blades

I want to try The simple cut Not a cry for help But a physical release From the prison
