A Frightening Nightmare

Thunder booms as I sneak into the cemetery,
I consider this to be extremely scary
A vision of translucent creatures flood my mind
As I notice an eerie moan coming behind
A full moon appears in the cloudless sky
I feel as if I’m about to cry
A deafening scream breaks the silence
I feel frightened, I have no defense
Suddenly a bloodcurdling silhouette emerge
A spine-chilling ghost is preparing to surge
My hearts starts to beat faster and faster
This has turned out to be a disaster
Luckily I wake up out of the blue
Whatever I dreamt of, it isn’t true.
