Nightmares

In my room, 

on my bed, 

I closed my eyes, 

hidden in the darkness, 

hoping for just peace.

I felt a rush of wind, 

I opened my eyes, 

startled.

I was surrounded by trees, 

staring at the dark sky, 

I got up quickly.

My bed! 

My room! 

All gone. 

I was outside

but I don't know where. 

I felt a cold breeze, 

I looked around, 

My body froze, 

staring straight at the light.

I started walking towards it, 

I heard a noise, 

sounded more like laughter

not just one but multiple.

I backed up

the light got closer.

That's odd. 

Its speeding towards me! 

I turned to run 

but it felt like someone was choking me. 

I couldn't breath

all I saw was the light getting closer

                                    and closer.

*BAM*

I woke up

Heart beating so fast

I was back in my room

I checked my body, 

hoping it was all just a dream.

I froze looking at my wrist.

'Hah you thought it was a dream, stop thinking and start believing, cause it won't end. Goodnight sweet dreams'

My heart started to race again

Was this real? 

If it was...

               Then where was I all night?

Very good description of attack and I like the use of the dream. Dreams can lead us to dangerous water and places. I like the realistic feel of the words.
"My heart started to race again
Was this real?
If it was...
Then where was I all night?"
Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.
