Nightmare

On a stormy night I awoke from a dream
               to find that I wasn't there ,
              was I awake or still in my dream
                or should I even care .
               My thoughts were all gone for something is wrong\
               for my room was upside down ,
              patterns of chaos infected my mind
                without making a sound .
             A hot hellish breeze blew through my house
               as devils danced in my head ,
              For something wicked came this way
                could it be under my bed  ?
              As sunlight poured into my room  
                I knew that I was alright ,
               or could it be that my mind was gone
                 taken during the night !
