While I sleep, I fear they crawl all over me,
Ready to sting me, inject their poison.
With claws that pinch and draw blood,
I have to take a deep breath, pretend I'm wrong.
Pretend they won't attack me in my bed,
Or surprise me in the shower, to make me scream.
I fear them so intensely.
I just have to remember: it's just a dream.
