Premium MemberBad Dream

This must be a bad dream
I can’t be woken up from
The worst of dreams I’ve seen
And it goes on and on
Please wake me back to real
Don’t tell me you are gone
Your kiss can stop this reel 
Rotating way too long
My darling love, please tell me
I’ve been asleep for years
I missed a lot of sun to

Premium MemberA teacher's recurring nightmare

Today again, I went to go teach, totally unprepared.
And fearing the principal would come observe me had me so scared,
I rambled through the room, floundering and fluttering.
And then a student asked, "Mr J, why are you muttering?
Do I sense maybe ~ you're just a little bit impaired?"

Phew, a frightful dream

Premium MemberHow I Wish Today Was Just A Bad Dream

Oh how I wish with my yearning nostalgic heart
That I could wake up to find
Today had just been a nightmare of a dream
And it was still the wonderful 1980s
When I was still young carefree and so nieve
And what I could have been
And what I could have achieved

Life back then was less complicated
People were generally more

it was only an awful dream...

The Bad Dream

An ailing scent in the aura,
Murky sky wherever I look,
Muddle visuals by my side,
Like my whole destiny shook.

Enormous croak in society,
Laying me in great baffle,
Strange eye of crowd at me,
As they were in a great shuffle.

I bid to peek into other scenes,
But no sight of creature in my eyes,
Just a sorrow uproar of mankind,
Similar to

Sunny, sultry afternoon; a playing breeze tosses my hair.
Eyes...I feel eyes and glance upwards;
By the water well, the Grim Reaper and he is filling the well from a large vessel with,
his eyes on me.

Setting down the vessel, a bony protrusion waving towards me, slowly, ever so slowly…come, it beckons.
NO!  I won’t; I know you.
Come,

A Bad Dream

A bad dream
There was a dreamer boy who dreams a lot and does nothing. He plays also when the boy had a pre examine,
When he entered the pre examine, he failed. He sang
As this
I dream to be a butterfly
Go every where and fly
See beautiful colors at my eye
Smell good odor thing in the weather
See smart

A Bad Dream

A BAD DREAM
Dr. Jim Martin

I tossed and turned throughout the night,
And with my pillow had a terrific fight.
I wondered if I would ever be all right,
And hoped for morning with all my might.

Was it something that I did eat?
It must have been quite a feat!
A good night’s sleep it did defeat,
I hope that this I

A Bad Dream

Dangerous dreams flood 
over me in darkness and 
the weight of them drowns me 
like a tidal wave 
sinking me into my mattress
and spiraling me through the 
rabbit hole on the other side
to somewhere on sixth street
forcing me into an open bar 
where smoke rings create halos 
and whiskey is the new smell of Christmas

Another Bad Dream

I had a dream last night it reminded me of chaos
Nightmares, the reality self identified the sacrifices i made do they payoff
The butcher's got the blade in his hand but does he got a spade in his pocket
To gamble with your life , to throw it down the the drain, evil schemes do they prosper,

It Feels Like a Bad Dream

It feels, like a bad dream that I had when I was young.
No one, cares or believes. "It's the past. Let it be done." 
I hear the beasts in the closet calling out my name.
I'll be safe under covers, but I'll never be the same.
No, I'll never be the same.
 
Nightmares begin and end here in
