A Nightmare

Nowadays I have new nasty nightmares
They usually have big brown bears.
There are big, tough, creepy and covered in hair
Why do they give me such a scare?

Sometimes I also dream about a shark
It only comes to me when I'm in the dark.
I run, I scream, no matter how hard I try
I can't get away and I don't know why.

I can't get up because I'm too scared
I won't go in the ocean if I'm dared.
I hate nightmares what can I say
Instead I would rather sleep in the day.
