Nightmares















Nightmares driving me insane subconscious images are invading my brain 

 As I sleep constantly fighting my dreams 
Silent on the outside no-one hears my screams 

Sheet soaked with sweat mixed with my tears 
My dreams seem to bring to me all my fears 

Tossing and turning awakening with a start 
The darkness loudly echoes the beat of my heart 

Nightmares of monsters nightmares of pain the same nightmare that comes again and again 

The nightmare is over as night turns to day 
The sunlight takes the monsters away 

As the day goes by I'm filled with dread
Because the nightmares are waiting for me in my head
