Nightmares

When you think about nightmares

You think about ghouls

You think about ghosts

You think about monsters hiding under your bed

But that's not what I think

I think about murder

Death and destruction

These are the things I see

In my nightmares

Have you ever seen your family

Die before your eyes

More then once?

I have

Have you ever seen a fire

That's killed all your friends

Repeatedly

I have

I have seen my friends and family die

 I have seen the funerals

I have seen the graves

I don't want to go to bed at night

Scared they'll return

And try to haunt me in the light

I've seen many things

I don't want to recall

No big scary monsters

Just dead bodies all around

I've been to a crime scene

In my own very house

I have seen my sister die

Shot in the heart

With my own very eyes

Just in dreams

They are so live, so vivid

They seem so real

And the worst part is

I can't wake up until it's over

Not until my nightmare is done

I don't like the

Death and destruction

But I see it all

In my nightmares

I wake up sweating

Screaming

All because of dreaming

I walk to school

Thinking about whose death

Will be there waiting for me

To put my head down

And go to sleep

I’m tired every day

Because of the lack of sleep

People stop to look at me

Everywhere I go

Several ask if I’m ok

It is because I have a distant look in my eyes

Like I’m never on the planet Earth

Even when I paying my undivided attention on someone

It looks like I’m not

So don’t be surprised

When it looks like I’m not there

Even when I am

Whenever I put my head down

Even for a simple nap

I see someone dead

Either just a body or the murder

All in my

Nightmares

So you think about

Ghosts

And ghouls

Disrupting your sleep

And I'll think

About another death

I know I will see.

For my dreams

Are always the same

Fire

Guns

Knives

Death
