Lifes Nightmares Poem by Cody J Walker

While you sleep so peacefully
And dream your special dream
A shadow will come
And hide behind all
All your wishes
And all your hopes
The shadows follow
Where ever you may go
You can't hide from you dreams
They will stalk you through the day
And haunt you through the night
You try to run in terror
Or hide in fear
But no one can run
Most dreams are good
But some dreams are bad
They will always haunt you
There is no escape
Your destiny is set
The day you are born
Through your life you will learn
Of the terror of the world
And the sorrow of the heart
If you are smart enough
You may find a way
To save yourself
From all of life's pain
And all of life's Nightmares.
