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...
