Wake

I panic

And panic

And PANIC

The vomiting

The tremors

Restless nights

All I do is worry

Turning on the lights

I cant sleep alone anymore

Until I heard a faint knock on the door

Cautiously walking

The door knob is warm

They keep knocking

Becoming louder than the storm

The door bursts open

Raindrops touch my face

My loving home is broken

Vulnerability in a vast space

I turn around to run

But the air has a taste

Fowl smoke grows thicker

My heart begins to race

I wake up

And pull my blanket over my head

I feel like I'm stuck

In every dream I wake up dead

When will they stop

When will I feel peace again

Under my covers I hear a knock

Pulling them to the side

I see they're trying to bust the lock

I'm trying to find a place to hide

I thought this was just a dream?

Will I wake up this time?

They seem to move with urgency

Wanting to take what's mine

All I wanted was to sleep

I dont think I'll wake up tonight
