Nightmare

It’s night, It’s dark, I’m all alone

The clock on the wall strikes twelve

But nothing here is well

I’m in a decaying mansion

Inside a great big hall

The furniture are Broken

The wallpaper is torn

Everything is dusty

Everything is worn

And then I hear an awful sound

That fills me with despair

Suddenly I realize

There are monsters here

Creepy Crawling Creatures

Ghosts and Ghouls

Vampires and Werewolves

And a rotting corpse

Zombies and a skeleton

Lurking out of sight

Tentacles, claws, and fangs

Moving in the Night

I say so quiet to myself

This just can’t be right

This can’t be real

This horror can’t exist

Should I try to run?

Or get an exorcist

The sound of their screams

Chills me to the bone

And an allconsuming fear

Is turning me to stone

My nostrils are filled

With smells of rotting flesh

How did I ever get myself

Into this awful mess

This can’t be real

It can’t happen to me

It must be a fantasy

It must be a dream

Then in a moment of clarity

I suddenly understand

I must be sleeping

In my bed so safe and sound

And my Imagination

Kicks me when I’m down

I will soon be awake I say

In my warm and cozy bed

The nightmare will finally end

And I’ll be awake instead

It’s just Nightmare,

It’s a just dream

All is well

No need for fear

But then a creature

Lay his claws on me

And I realize I’m awake….
