Description
Reoccurring terror when I wake up from the light.
Welcome the stillness of the non-virtual night.
The monsters in the shadows that scared the ten year-old
Are now my acquaintances, or so I am told.
Even they can't help the tears streaming down my face.
They can only watch as all I dreamt falls into place.
The fear of my subconscious is there to terrorize
And all my friends can read the truth behind my tired eyes.
People say it's stupid, that it won't come true.
But what happens will happen. There's nothing they can do.
My nightmare could so easily become his wildest dream
But everything is okay, or so it would seem.
Is he becoming distant or caring slightly less?
Or is it just me listening to my dependent chest?
He acts the same but underneath I think something has changed.
He's still the same old Jordan, so why do I feel estranged?
People ask my biggest fear and expect to hear the normal,
But now I find mine is somewhat more informal.
I'm terrified, petrified, frightened and scared.
My fear is irrational; being unprepared.
Not knowing the unknown scares me the most,
Nightmares become reality like some unwanted ghost.
But every time I wake up crying, I breath a sigh of relief
Because I never know despite my friend's beliefs.
One day I might not be able to open my sleepy eyes.
One day this nightmare may be real. A warning in disguise.
