Have you ever had
one of those dreams
when something wicked’s coming
as you stifle your screams
All you wanna do
is to just get out
but there’s no way to
and you want to shout
As you sneak around
searching where to hide
from room to room
you slip and slide
The wicked thing’s coming
closer and closer too
as your hearts pounding
hard inside of you
Your mind is filled
with so much fear
that you begin to think
the wicked thing will hear
Then your mouth gets
so thick and dry
your lips start to crack
and you want to cry
In the next room
you hear it there
but to take a breath
you don’t even dare
When all the sudden
you are now awake
with your heart thumping
no more can you take
All you think of is
“Was that a nightmare?”
and can’t go back to sleep
’cause it was such a scare?!

wicked thing is indeed fearful.
🙂
Yes, indeed it is! I hate those kind of dreams. Peace 🙂
I’ve been there too! I kept waiting for the part when you try to scream or yell, and it’s as if your voice won’t work. That’s usually when my wife wakes me up!

I used to have nightmares, then they are gone,
it is part of growing pain, maybe.
your thoughts are always amazingly beautiful.
Thanks Morning! That is so kind of you to say so. I don’t know, it may be ’cause I don’t have nightmares now that I’m “old”, lol. Blessings, Terri
I have these dreams all the time… sometimes they spill into real life. Well written!
I used to but don’t anymore. Maybe because, with my husband, I fee safe and secure – maybe nothing to do with it too but I’m just glad not to wake up in the middle of the night scared and sweating, lol! Thanks and blessings, Terri
amazing 🙂 even i keep having such dreams and leaves me wondering down of my bed 🙂
Nabeel, lol, monsters under the bed was always one of my worst! Blessings, Terri
