Samia Ali Salama Poet Rhyme

Bad Dreams

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 
which I sometimes create
Stories which I fear 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 
I will not admit
Monsters, demons every night 
I fight them in my bed
Scenes of death and horror
the ones which I most dread

At times I know I’m dreaming 
and force myself to wake
I realize my terror dream
is really just a 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
