Terrified
Another night packed full of dreams
Hard as I might try, there are no screams
Stalked by something with a shadowy face
Terrifying thoughts begin to race
{}
Suddenly convinced I will be dead
As the dark figure climbs in my bed
Faster and faster my heart pounds
Still unable to emit any sounds
{}
Shaking, I awaken soaked in sweat
Not really sure if I’m awake yet
I am paralyzed with fear
Certain this time the end is near
{}
I finally decide the nightmare ends
Still a chill the memory sends
Aware that with return to sleep
Repetition of the cycle will keep
{}
Replaying again inside my head
Sleep is now something to dread
I fight fiercely until exhaustion wins
Until it starts all over again
