Running

glancing behind

legs won't work

feels like running underwater

struggling to move

It's getting closer

what is IT?

can't escape!

a scream rising in my thoat

just want to get away!

I'm afraid...

Driving

hands on the wheel

speeding

twists and turns

a giant knot

freeway to the unknown

lights a blur

feels so real

laughing out loud

wind blowing through my hair

I'm not scared...

Strange people

looking at me

they're in the kitchen

talking, milling about

“get out of my house!”

I shout

glancing around...

doesn't look like mine

but I know it is

I'm angry...

Walking down the street

people passing in cars

looking out windows

staring at me

don't know why

until I find

I'm naked!

Where are my clothes?

Trying to cover up

making my way back home

embarassed...

Running my fingers

through my hair

strings of brown

falling to the ground

hold my hands out

only to see

clumps of hair

falling to my feet

start to cry

why???

Open my eyes

my face is wet

tangled in sheets

I realize

it was just a dream...
