My Darkest Dream

I go to bed an close my eyes; That is when my imagination flies. I dream of family and friends, Then I see their ends. Darkness drowned the light, And I lost the will to fight. Darkness walked, And Fear talked. In Darkness, I did drown While Fear held me down. In Darkness, I had a path to choose, But what would I gain? What would I lose? Every feeling of Hope Was taken and bound with black rope. Kindness and love were no longer there, And could not be found anywhere. I tried to open my eyes, but could not see, Because Darkness had a hold of me. I tried to scream and scream, Trying to wake from this evil dream. I prayed and prayed. I prayed with all my heart, And finally the Darkness began to part. My soul, with joy, does scream, Because I have waken from my darkest dream.

Don't eat anything before you go to bed. A nice set of couplets where a few alterations would be helpful: In the first line, "an" should be "and". This is probably just a typographical error. In the eighteenth line, replace "wake" with "awaken". In the twenty-second line, replace "waken" with "awakened". With these few corrections, you will have a better presentation.
