'Nightmare'

In the wake of the night, I rise with a temperature.
My heart is racing like a galloping horse.
I gasp for air.
Shaken as though I could not believe myself,
Was it real or just a dream?
It was then that I realized it was all a dream.
A dream that broke through the walls of my mind,
It was so close I could almost feel it,
The moment it touches you, the hair rises off your skin.

Emotions have haunted me daily.
I feel trapped in anxiety.
Afraid to close my eyes.
I lay awake thinking.
What is it?
Why can't I figure this out?
What does it mean?

Drifting into exhaustion as I deepen into darkness.
Navigating through life and staying woke.
As if a bird falling asleep while flying,
I crash into a blackout,
overtaken by numbness.
Sleeping without knowing I'm back in motion pictures.
A glimpse of moments that bring with them secrets,
I feel weary about my every move.
I turn my eyes to see it all.
I can't seem to gain control.
Everything happens as if it is to perform.
Wake up!
