Scared To Dream

Shapes and patterns in my mind,
Searching for something that I can’t find.

Tears are streaming down my face,
How I wish I could leave this place.

I wake up screaming, terrified, alone,
My heart feels like it’s turned to stone.

My body’s covered in cold sweat,
My buzzing head cannot forget.

Trying not to sleep is too extreme,
But for the first time, I’m scared to dream.
