Sleepless Dream

Once upon a midnight dream I slept in restlessness My appearance, different than what it seemed The vision portrays my stress In a clod sweat I pant and scream Nothing can conceal my fright I try and hide form my dream I can't hold out through the night Now we enter the depths of my mind To see what lies inside To find monsters of all kinds To find the secrets that I hide What do you see in my mind eye? What horrors lie beneath? Do you lie under a blackened sky? Does a monster flash his teeth? There is nothing more to fear My eyes are open wide My panting is all I hear Under my covers is where I hide
