Why did somebody found this poem offensive? 1 of 2?

In Screams Aloud…

In screams aloud

I have awaken unproud

Lost in the dark

An unknown fear dwelling in my heart

Not at all clear this thing which I fear

Something not at all dear

Tis’ nothing there at all

Nothing large nor nothing small

It is alone that I am and alone I shall be

No unseen horror from which I must flee

Nothing save my own foolishness robs me of my rest

Nothing, but some unseen, unreal pest

My eyes grow weary of this dim night’s light

And no longer do I wish to fight

Or evade sweet sleep’s delight

I pray with eyes closed tight

No longer could I linger

Only to hear the faint distant voice of a singer

“Thru your empty life and times of strife

I have awaited you

Thru the sleepless nights and days of flight

I have awaited you”

    I don't find anything offensive in the poem. However, it does not seem to make much sense, except the rhyme, there does not seem much of poetry. The last four lines of course stand on a different platform, and may stand as a short poem.
