Cant Wake Up
Lights flash,
A yellow streak through the night sky.
Loud booms,
Stilling the stormy air.
I seek shelter,
The rain sings a deathly lualaby,
Testing my limits,
Teasing my fear.
I stumble,
Coming to a stop.
Opening my eyes,
Slowly...
Im hidden under the trees,
The rain attempts to break through.
The wind roars loudly,
I sit and hug my scabbed knees
Chanting to myself,
"It's just a dream,
It's just a dream!"
But i still hear the storm,
I still feel the cold,
I still wince at the pain,
And i still wont wake up...
