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
