Darkness is not My Friend —– by Teresa Dean Smeigh
Nightmares during the night or day,
Cannot keep the demons at bay.
I always dread the coming night
I have to sleep with a light.
Darkness is not my friend
I wish it all were to end!
This poem came to me upon waking up. Sometimes they are just there and have to come out.

About Tessa
My name is Tessa Dean and I am an author and blogger. My writing styles vary and I love writing using prompts.
I am also writing my first book, a Memoir entitled "Government Property - A Memoir of a Military Wife". This is being published on the blog rather than the traditional way. I am putting up chapters as I go along. I keep my blog filled with useful content, stories, and poems. Plenty to keep you busy. I have also been interviewed by blogs and had other posts published on many different blogs. I also wrote a series of articles on Bipolar Disorder for IBPF (International Bipolar Foundation).
I am in my 60’s and disabled which allows me plenty of time to write to my heart’s content.
I live in southern New Jersey and have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. My oldest grandchild is a Sargent in the United States Marine Corps.
I hope the light helps to counteract the effects of darkness. Not a friend at all 😦

The light helped and the increased meds have calmed them down a lot. Thank heavens. Waiting on a new med change, but my insurance company doesn’t want to pay for it.
