Don't Surrender

Shaking;

Barely Waking,

Closely Escaping.

Terrified eyes glance around,

Heart still beating quickly;

The clock, forever ticking.

Sweat droplets intertwine with tear drops;

Drizzling down her face,

A gasping breath enters, unevenly.

“It Was Just A Dream....

It Was Just A Dream; It Wasn't Real,”

She Shakily Tells Herself, As She

Throws The Blankets Back,

Rushing To Escape From The Dreams

That Use Her Bed As A Landing-Strip Tonight.

Don't Surrender,

Don't Surrender, To Those Blackened, Horrid Dreams.

They're Not Real;

They're Just Intended To Make You Feel,

...In A Way, Give You A Cheap Scare Thrill.

And Make Your Voice Go Shrill, Before You Ever Wake.

How Much More Of Feverish Dreams Can You Take?

They're Nothing But Fake;

Don't Take Them To Heart;

I Mean Come On, You've Been Strong From The Start,

Don't Start Slipping Now.

Don't Start Tripping Over Fallacies;

Can't You See, That Yeah, You Two Are Meant To Be?

And This Is Just A Build Up Of All Your Collected Stresses?

Don't Worry,

Don't Be In Such A Hurry;

Otherwise..Your Past Will Seem Oh So Blurry;

Just Breathe In, And Keep Loving, With All You Got.

Don't Be Shaken,

You're Just Mistaken,

For You See...It Was Only A Twisted Dream,

Which Isn't What It Really Seems To Be.

Trust Me,

Don't Surrender,

Don't Give Up,

You'll See, Those Dreams Are Just Putting Up A Cold Front.
