A Bad Dream

As I start to dream
Tears begin to stream
Falling into the abyss,
The nightmare comes

Clowns, ghosts and witches galore
Creepy, scary and so much more
Laughs and cries fill the halls
No escape unless through walls

Haunted house comes to life
As screams and shouts fill the night
You try your best to out run
But it’s not over till they’re done
