Night Scare

Just as I dozed Off
It was that creature 
Again! 
Shook me awake 
By the echoing,
Growling of its fierce voice

Onto my feet, I was
Rocketed towards that edifice 
I dashed in, locked all the portals 
Giving access to the building
I took a deep breath
Thinking I had escaped it

I down-lifted myself 
To the rooms downstairs
Trod backwards, 
I got inside room 16
And locked myself up,
Felt relieved for a second

The room was then illuminated
By the red-searching lasers 
I tried to view them closer,
I was pierced by two-edged 
Sword-like objects, I heard the voice...
'Again?'

A coffin was deposited in front
I was desperate,
I got inside myself
I heard an alarm ringing
A wavy view of the ceiling,
And shower came to sight

I was in the tub
Warmth of water had taken me 
To a place no one else knows 
The sun had risen,
It was morning
And it was time to leave for school

This is the best nightmare poem I have read in many moons. Very well done.
