Just woke,
after a nightmare poke.
I was glad to come back to reality,
the nightmare was frightening in totality.
It was like I was actually there,
the monster had a real big stare.

After I woke up,
my mind was still terror corrupt.
No wonder little kids run,
after a nightmare stun.
Some dreams are frightening,
they strike at us like lightening.

Life is like lightening,
at times it can be frightening.
It will beat us when we're awake,
at night we don't even get a break.
We're suppose to be resting,
when we're sleeping.

Instead we're still struggling,
suffering with nightmares haggling.
The body is still,
the brain continues to run at will.
As we sleep it would be nice,
to put the mind on ice.
Keep it from playing its movies,
while we have the sleepies.

A little peace in sleep,
instead of the nightmare peep.
Some dreams are entertaining,
when awake good thoughts remaining.
Some of life is joy,
fractions of it tries to destroy.
To keep from being beat down,
its best to plant our feet
strongly to the ground.
Be strong and positive,
to counteract
the negative.
