When I drifted off to sleep

Expecting to slumber all night, soft and deep

I was plunged onto a forest floor

I started running fast and sure

The people behind me started closing in

I could smell their anger...and their fear

I ran on swifter than the deer

My lungs started burning I started to gasp for air

But stop, I didn't dare

I said to myself they won't catch you

Although I knew without help they were sure to

Suddenly a hand reached down and pulled me safety

I woke up gasping and didn't go back to sleep
