Its Just a Dream

It's just a dream, right? 
I had a dream
Or, at least I think it’s a dream
A dream about a man
I don’t know who or what
But I know it’s a man
He had curly ginger hair
A mask that covered his face
He was holding a butcher knife
Wearing a black hoodie, black pants, and black shoes
He looks evil
Or, maybe, he is evil
No one good would look something like that
And holding a butcher knife
Yes, he’s evil
I saw him there
In the dark 
I can’t move
Something’s not right here
Something’s holding me!
Holding me very tight
NO! LET ME GO!
LET ME GO!
I started crying
He approached me
Pulling up the butcher knife
Please! Don’t do this!
It’s just a dream! It’s just a dream!
I need to wake up! I need to wake up!
Something’s holding me! NO!
LET ME GO! STOP! STOP! DON’T!
He’s right in front of me 
He raised the butcher knife and killed me
As I woke up, screaming
Yes, it was all just a dream
But it seemed so real
Why would this happen to me?
Wait, why do I feel like I’m being watched?
No, he’s right there
In the dark
I know he’s not real, this is all just a dream too
I need to wake up again! Water! Water!
I took the water besides my lamp and splashed it on my face
Why am I not waking up?!
N! He’s coming! With that butcher knife!
This is real! NO! IT CAN’T BE! NO!
He approached me 
I screamed and screamed
No one saved me 
He raised the butcher knife 
And stabbed me in the heart
Was it a dream? Or not? 
Please help me!
What do I do now?
I’m now all white
I walked and walked for something light
Yes! Light!
I ran to it and saw that I’m in heaven
Thank you!
I’m now away from that dream!
Thank you . . . 
I can now live in peace
Even if I don’t have a body anymore
I still have my spirit . . .
