Nightmares

Each night my fears all come to life inside my terror dreams. They chase me and confuse me where no one hears my screams. Repeatedly, I run and hide from them without success. No matter how I try they always find me nonetheless. Scenarios inside my head that I somehow create. Sometimes I fear that they are visions of my unknown fate. I try escaping from them but they all know where I live. They hunt me without mercy, my dreams do not forgive. Like pieces of a puzzle that never really fit. Or thoughts I have in waking hours that I will not admit. Monsters, demons every night, I fight them in my bed. Scenes of death and horror, the ones that I most dread. At times I know I’m dreaming and force myself to wake. I realize that all the terror that I feel is fake. But then the night time comes again and when I close my eyes. I’m lost again inside a world where nothing will surprise.
