I close my eyes for the night, Expecting the well-known fright. The shadow that lurks in the corner, The murderer committing such torture. I close my eyes, And unexpectedly see, Cream coated pies, Piled up high for me. I see rainbows and ponies, The love of my life. Not my insecurities, Not being threatened with a knife. I try to scream, I try to shout, Why do I have a happy dream? Why can't I get out? I feel like I'm all alone, The terror when I'm sleeping. When nightmares are all you've ever known, Dreams can be truly frightening.
