Real Nightmare

The shadows move... They come to me. A familiar scent; Yes, they knew me. “Leave me alone!” I shout in silence. I try to be still-- My act of defiance. They explore me; The path untraveled. The beauty within Became unraveled. The darkness lurks, The light they seek. There they find it-- Tears on my cheek. Now I’m awake But relief disappears... My nightmare reality... He smirks at my fears.
