Scared

Tonight I dreamed
                                             Monsters and scary things
                                             Sounds in the dark
                                             Awoke with tears in my eyes
                                             Sleep in the day
                                                              Teresa Skyles

Teresa, I have nightmares almost every evening, but they don't usually involve "monsters," just frightening situations. It is hard to cope with them afterward, so I can relate to the way you wake with tears in your eyes. There's nothing wrong with sleeping during the day! Great entry for Michael's contest, dear, and I wish you success! Love, Carolyn
