Nightmare

By lshidonil

Memories hit me in the dead of night,
I’m awake.
 
Dunked into ice cold water,
I’m awake.
 
My body hits the ground,
I’m awake.
 
I stare into my cold, dead eyes,
I’m awake.
 
The funny thing about being awake is that sometimes,
It feels like a dream.
Other times,
More so a nightmare.
