Night Sweats

I awake from a sleep to hear a load scream It is seeming so real it cannot be a dream The glass it is breaking and hitting the floor It is sounding like someone is breaking the door Do I lay here in silence and feeling the dread Or get up just screaming and run from my bed Paralyzed from my head and down to my toes You can see all my fear I know it just shows I hear crunching and creaking from out in the hall From the floor to the ceiling and my breath is in stall I feel a cold presence and freeze to my bed It is giving me feelings like I’m gonna be dead Feeling so scared my spine set to tingle Wish there was a crowd so I could just mingle My bed it starts shaking and moving about I start to just screeching and even to shout What is the ringing that’s off in my head I know you can hear all I have just said The ringing is louder and hard to ignore Someone please help me of this I implore There is that ringing it is louder again The alarm it is sounding from out in the den With one more time ringing I awake to my scream I did not realize that I was living a dream
