"Why do people always say that they are just dreams?
That they can't hurt me?
When they can't see me crying myself awake
Or flinching anytime someone goes to touch me
Because the horror of my nightmares are stuck on repeat
And I can't seem to wake myself up from the trance I'm in
These 'dreams' have made me more afraid to go to sleep at night then the stories about ghost in my closet or monsters under my bed ever did
Because when I close my eyes, all I see is his hands all over me
And all I feel is the pain of loosing the people I love
So do not tell me that they are 'just dreams'
That they aren't real
To just forget about them
Don't you think I've tried to convince myself of all those things?
But every night it's the same struggle
And one night, I'm going to do what people say
I'm going to try and go to sleep
But I won't wake up."
