waking up from a scary delusion all i could do was yell and scream
then i realized it was all a dream
dreamt of colors such as black, brown, grey and blue
i got out of bed and didnt have a clue

still scared out of sight
made me not sleep throught the night
roaring, barking, squeaking breaking
once again i got up sweating and shaking

during the day freaking out and crying
all i could think of was slowly dying
my body aching intruding my life
it just felt like being stabbed by a knife

the frightening days are finally done
now i can go back to where i had begun
eating strawberries chocolate lollies and ice cream
thank god now i have woken up from this horrifying dream
