Nightmare!

She walks in the dark; cold and alone, But no way! She won’t return home! She will keep going for she is strong, She has to prove them all wrong. They know nothing of the things she has seen, They haven’t been where she has been The images that torture her soul The images that chill her to the bone The ghosts that haunt her day and night She cries as her eyes begin to close tight No she pleads not another nightmare I’m sick of seeing this, sick of being scared The horrors of her dreams cause her the pain she feels She knows the difference between reality and this is real Maybe not at present but in the past At some point in her life time this has happened She doesn’t know how, she doesn’t know when But she hopes, prays and begs never again!!
