Nightmare
I awaken with a jolt
so full of fear
covered in sweat
trying to calm my racing heart
At the time, so real.
Looking back, seems absurd.
Now, nothing makes sense.
Strange events jumping here and there
random order, at times.
Where does this come from?
Visions of my mind's eye?
Past darknessess?
Deepest desires?
Future happenings?
What does it all mean?
Is this a warning in disguise?
How can one escape this nightmare?
Strange, these scenes
I see behind closed lids.
Working diligently to suppress
thoughts, feelings, emotions
locked away in my head
a temporary disposal
suddenly regurgitated into the forefront.
