Nightmares Whisper Stories

First Duplex Poem. Asperger's Syndrome (part of the Autism spectrum) has given me vivid nightmares since I was a toddler every night. Schizoaffective Disorder developed later on in my life, creating hallucinations. There are details that may be triggering.

Asperger’s night is full of night mares and terrors.

Inhuman visions with my eyes both closed and opened.

Please! Leave my bedroom door open,

just in case I need to flee from those who will leave my heart paralyzed.

Oh! The night hallucinations and sleep paralysis:

I wake up, unable to move and scream.

One night, a shadowy mass appeared and dragged me out of my bed while I couldn't scream.

I can hear his chuckle full of malice.

My dreams are the same way- Full of malice.

An unwanted dream that comes out to get me.

Once I go into another dream realm, an evil scientist chases after me.

I am a magical beast that can fly and do telekinesis.

The rarity of flight and telekinesis

While parkouring on the high rises catches the attention of the doctor.

He has blonde messy hair and obsessive eyes- a nutty and deteriorated doctor

Follows me everywhere with a lust for my capture.

He will experiment on me and torture me under his capture.

Is he a metaphor of society with those with a non-conformed mind?

In return, they give me horror stories to write- What’s wrong with my mind?

They project to me with screams, fear, bodily fluids, and blood

like years ago, I woke up to find a woman in my bed, her mouth full of blood.

Her eyes widen, dead-staring at my face.

Why every night, there’s a monster I must face?

She snooped around my body and bit me on the side.

I tearfully fled my room and slept on my parents’ bedside.

I was only sixteen. How can it get worse from this?

No one believes me because of this,

Saying it is all in my head.

I’m the villain and the hero inside my own head.

I fantasize about my plans during the day and endure seven circles of Hell at night.

You always tell me to think happy thoughts to stop the nightmares at night,

(But you don’t know an) Asperger’s night is full of night mares and terrors.
