BAD DREAM

The nightmare lingers on my mind,
A haunting memory of a different time.
I toss and turn, and try to sleep,
But the images won't let me keep
A restful peace - they stir and churn,
Leaving me anxious, nerves still burned.
I wake up drenched in sweat and fear,
Heart pounding, breath is short and sheer.
But then I breathe, and take a pause,
To remember it was just because
Of dreams that sometimes come at night,
