Nightmares

Sweat, cold sweat, I can feel it on my forehead
fear clings itself to my bones
like an unwanted guest

Madness is taking a hold on me
everything feels surreal
I no longer know what reality is
where am I?

Dirt, dust, heat
unbearable heat.
The sun is burning my skin.

I'm shaking.
My breathing is fast
My heartbeat is strong
My hands are shaking

I can hear the bombing
I can feel the dust burning in my dry eyes
I have to run

Shooting
Hate
War
an endless circle

My shoulder hurts
Blood is everywhere

It's so loud, I wish you were here...
Bombs! Bombs? Or is it just my pounding heart that I hear?

I shake my head
I have to force myself back to reality
just another nightmare.
