Waking Up

Deep sleep has put me in a place..
My mouth is open to an unfamiliar taste..
I'm running so fast through a dark forest..
Branches and twigs are hindering me powerless..
There is an uphill climb with hands pulling on my waist..
I am being swayed back down with a disturbing haste..
I can see a face and hear a voice..
Silence is the only screaming noise..
Shaken with a fury till my feet find the ground..
I have fallen out of bed from a dream that came around..
Now Rosanna is leaning over the bed as I lie smiling on the floor..
No more Ghost Adventures for you, just comedy and music and no more..
