Dreams

Its dark,
I cannot see.
There is no light
I turn and everything has changed.
Am I me?
Or a bystander?
I try to run
My feet feel like lead
closer and closer...
slower and heavier
I can not move
I can't escape.

I bolt up.
Cold sweat on my brow
It was only a dream,
so I close my eyes again...

I actually wrote this late at night. lol.

Its somewhat odd... but, I kinda like it.

was it from an actual dream?
I've had dreams like that before...
pretty much the worst feeling, needing to run and not being able to.

good poem.

Its not from a specific dream... but I have had so many dreams like that.

It always seems in dreams that its never light enough, that I can't see anything clearly (in some dreams at least)
