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.
