Nightmare
Sleep for most is a time to dream
As they drift off without despair
But for some its too extreme
As all it brings is a nightmare
They are filled with gloom and fear
As they become prisoners of the night
The bogeyman is always there
To make them scream in fright
They are trapped within this horror show
Where the nightmare king is in control
It's Freddy Krueger on the go
and screams alone won't save their soul
