Hugging my body,
To stop the shaking
Turning left and right
Am I still dreaming?

Gasping in the air,
Crying like a child
But shut it again
Scared to wake anyone,
In the middle of the night

It was disturbing
My heart raising,
Hyperventilating
Goosebumps appearing

I love to sleep
It was the least,
I love the best

But in a nightmare like these,
I don't think I can,
Close my eyes once again
It is scary enough,
To cry out loud

But I am scared to wake anyone,
To share my nightmares
So I shut my mouth
And cry to myself
Hoping it will go away,
My unpleasant secrets
