Lights Out Anxiety
How I dread that time of the night
Lights out as I wait anxiously
To fall asleep, encounter dreams
My subconscious delivery
Will they be sweet and filled with peace?
Or will dreams take a different course
If spicy food has been consumed
Nightmares display severe remorse
Some say dreams reflect the future
Counselors say they reflect past acts
But where do the monsters come from?
Those who try to whack with axes!
So as I lay me down to sleep
I pray for dreams that bring sweet thoughts
With loving hearts we approach day
“Lights Out!” Anxieties increase
