Night Terrors

Ever so real
                                   It’s something I can feel
                                   Lay my head back down
                                 To continue the movie reel

                                          Toss and turn
                                       Sometimes I burn
                                      Others it’s my turn
                                   Looking down at my urn
                                          Ever so real
                                  It’s something I can feel

                                       Is it a past life
                                   That held such strife
                         Maybe my angels leading me to the light
                                         Either way
                            I’ve achieved my rest for that night

                         Praying to stay on the path that’s right
                                        Head held high 
                            To hide where my demons reside
                                   For sometimes I can fly
                         Away from the things that make me cry

                                        My dreams
                                       Ever so real
                           They are something I can feel

Sounds great live like a good person and maybe you’ll have dreams instead of nightmares

Very well done, dreams are indeed weird! Seems like rhyme covers it

Ultimately, you call it what you like and it doesn’t matter. Only time it ever does is if you enter a contest. They are fun! Just start reading some of the info about the different types and try some out. I like things I’ve never tried before, and some, I don’t.
