Nightsweats

By megaprime81

I ran into a nightmare
Halfway through a dream
I couldn't find my voice
I couldn't even scream

I sold a solemn yesterday
For a string of broken lies
I found out for myself
There are no alibis

I woke up in a sweat
Couldn't get back to sleep
Even dreamers scream
And i am the blackest sheep

And for all my concentrated effort
I couldn't get back to sleep

The restless mind, fights against the nightmarish realm. Avoid spicy foods. Seriously, they can cause nightmares,, as well. I have suffered from night terrors since I was a little girl. It can be agonizing at times.. Much peace to you. nice poetry. Well done :)

Normally i sleep very well; except for waking up two or three times, i did o.k. But i've had moments in dreams where i would try to scream and nothing would come out. I appreciate you, angel.

Reminds me briefly of the poem "Dream within a Dream" by Edger Allen Poe ... just the concept of thought,, really...the realization of picking your brain apart trying to figure out how to approach the situation. I really enjoyed this one from you, Prime. Bows-
