Nightmare By:   Bushra Salman

 
I often wake-up at midnights..
Scared by a Nightmare..
And not only in sleep..
They follow me everywhere.!!
Since childhood they’re the same..

& Still they scare..
I see them repeatedly..
& Wake sweating with fear!!
I see demons and devil..
Following me everywhere..
I lose someone there..
Or I die somewhere..

They’re not so scary though..

You’ll think reading here.
Oh!! It’s childish..
Not something to care.!!
But for me they are dreadful..
Coz they horrify me to tears..
& Then I lose my sleep..
Shaking with fear..
It’s fifteen years now..
& For me it’s rare..
To have a beautiful dream.
And not a Nightmare.!!!!
