Nightmares

A nightmare force me awakened the tough life force me awakened... My dreams come through the walls light up my dark room darkens light ones... My nightmares are plague carriers dreams of life sometimes brings death... In my sleep I have nightmares when awake I have my thoughts I'm not sure which is worse... Often my pillow is an ocean some nights I drown in my own tears and hopes... If I scream wake me I didn't mean to wake you it was just a nightmare... ~ ~ ~
