A Bad Dream.

I close my eyes

And lay down my head.

Warm tears flow freely,

Moistening my bed.

I drift off to sleep,

Hoping for some peace.

I really need a break,

Oh dear God , please ?

In the calm

Of a moonless night,

I'm walking to nowhere,

When I see the light.

A tiny seed of hope

Is planted in my heart.

Feet slapping the ground,

I run fast.

I reach the end of the road, 

And see light emanating from a gate.

I breathe in deeply

As I walk towards my fate.

Blinded by the light,

For a moment, I can't see.

Once my sight returns

All I can think of is to flee.

A face so frightful

That I can't help but scream.

I can only hope,

That it's all just a bad dream..
