My Nightmares

i woke this morning at about three
for something had surley taken over me
what ever it was i was'nt sure 
but it was somthing i've never felt before
 
i cant really explain how it made me feel 
first in a cold sweat then with chills
eyes wide open and out of breath 
it was so hard to get a hold of myself
 
i sat up on the edege of the bed
and tried to get these vissions out of my head
still half awake and about to scream
when i realize that it;s just a dream

yet im still sitting here wondering why
there is so much fear when i close my eyes
i was told what you sow you will reep
but never knew it would haunt me in my sleep

 i figure if i cant find peace at night 
then something in my life just aint right
therefore
 i ask for forgiveness everynite in my prayers
so i wont be awaken by these hellish nightmares
