Awakened by Screams

This dream has a hold of me.

This feeling of insecurity,

Even in my own home I feel this.

This distressful buzzing in my ear,

Sleep is supposed to be blissful but this is torture.

I am awakened by screams.

These screams are none of those around me,

They are my screams

I look back on my past and wonder,

What do I dream about…

I scream in my sleep….

Why do I do this…?

It is a simple question,

So therefore where is the answer?

This puzzled me.

I am awakened by my own screams into the dark night.

What do I dream about…

Surely I don’t know…

And maybe…

I don’t want to find out…
