I sit here all alone
The silence never ends
Not a thing to hear
It is dead silence
I stay inside my room
My parents told me to
It's really quiet here
I hope I hear something soon
A little while back
Something terrible happened
"Stay inside this room."
Is what my parents said
I've never opened the door
I've never heard a sound
I am tired of the silence
I wish I could be found
That's it. I've had it
I want to hear something
I stand up and walk to the door
And then I start to sing
I turn the nob to the door
And push it wide open
What I find shocks me
I wish it would just end
People are dying and screaming
It's shattering my eardrum
They are screaming my name
As I cry and start to run
As I flee I run into my parents
They are crying and asking
"Why did you leave your room?"
And I start screaming and crying...
I wake up in my soft bed
Tears streaking my face
The sun shines through my window
I'm no longer being chased
I'm glad it was just a nightmare
It was not reality
I wipe the tears from my face
And slowly hug my knees
I take a few shaky breaths
And lay back down in bed
I hope I don't have to
Dream like that again
