The nightmares come like spiders,
they spin webs around my bed.
The nightmares sound like flies
buzzing, swarming in my head.
The nightmares keep me up all day
pondering over meaning.
The nightmares give me messages
that can be so demeaning.
The nightmares feed on failure,
but can always change preference.
The nightmares leave marks like
reminders of my sentence.
The nightmares follow weakness,
scent it in the darkest nights.
(The nightmares do not scare me,
because I have won the fight.)

I wrote this intending for it to be a sonnet, but I realized it was too long. Problem solved.

&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;
