Recurring Dream

Darkness cold and heavy Sweat droplets on my face Eyes darting back and forth South to north Up and down I frown I stand colliding with a wall My hands don’t work at all I fall Hold my knees to chest My breathe does the rest My anxiety creeps up Goes down just to buildup I’m stuck The shadows creep around The room is so still with no sound I crawl on the ground My knees make a scratching sound My eyes search all around The shadows start to surround They reach down I scream so loud it hurts my ears This is my biggest fear My eyes pop open suddenly I look around uncertainly It was a dream mistakenly I still breathe unevenly I grab my covers And as I recover The dream plays in my head Something I dread Like something I said But there is nothing here The monster is gone, disappear I shake off the fear Hold my covers over my chest and lay back down to rest.
