I hear someone whispering, a face peeking into the window

Is it for real?

Heart is beating faster, my throat goes dry

I break into a cold sweat, as I lay still,

Close my eyes tightly shut, hoping no one is around –

Come face to face with a faceless monster;

I try to scream, but it is soundless,

I try to run, but I freeze;

I try to take out a knife, but it slips

I try to hide, but my covers are blown,

There is no escape –

I open my eyes.. there is nothing.. All gone…

You guessed it ! Nightmares!

Always thought they were for real..

Scared me then, Scare me now!

Goodness Gracious! now my secret is out.
