Dreams

Dreadful dreams pain me as I sleep,
Draining me of all cheerful hope,
Deadly monsters will always creep,
Daily fears do not help one cope,
Destroying coy me dream by dream,
Desperate to wake up I scream,
Delighted saved from alarms beep.

oh my, THAT's no fun. I have dreams in which I am associated with strange people, even serial killers but my dreams are interesting and rarely nightmarish! Thankfully so!!! Congrats on your win.
