Thought It Was A Dream

Have you ever had a dream?
A dream you just wanted to flee from?
A Dream that terrified you
That it brought you to tears?

You attempt to open your eyes
But you keep on seeing
Telling yourself to wake up
But you’re stuck there dreaming

You moving helplessly in your bed
Crying horribly in your dream
Huddled in a corner
In a place you cannot see

The things you fear the most
Dance and chant around your corps
You want to wake up
But you know it’s just a hoax

You get to your feet
And you run to get free
The things that terrified you so
Chase you like the Devil just spoke

Horrid laughter coming from behind
You mind is loosing all sense of time
You run and run
But you see you’re stuck in time

When you begin to lose this fight
You hear the clock sound 2
Your eyes open wide
And sweat drips down your sides

It was only a dream
And what a horrid dream it was
You lay in your bed
Happy that you woke from it

You stare at the ceiling
Afraid to go back to sleep
You hear something in the air
Something is sitting in the chair

You get on your feet
Maybe it’s mommy unable to sleep
You can hear the floor creep
But there is blood on your feet

You heart starts to race
Scared of what’s to wait
You grab the chair
And to your surprise this is what you see

Sliced wrist
Bleeding hands
Empty pill cans
Bloody mouth

Who is this?
Can’t you see?
That wasn’t just a dream
Because this person is me.
