Nightmare…
I fell down.
I tried to get up but,
I couldn’t.
I tried again only to fall again.
I started to panic,
I cried out for help; but no one came.
I tried again but failed,
I begged for assistance; but no one came.
I twisted and turned,
I shouted and yelled,
I was drenched in sweat,
I woke up with a start!
I was relieved,
I was dreaming; a terrible nightmare.
I tried to get up,
I still couldn’t!!!

Sad but well written. And the suspense at the end was really good. You should write more.

Hi Alexis,
Good piece of writing spoken from your heart!
Hope you are keeping fine
Sometimes it’s hard to see through our tears and our dreams.
But even when we can’t see, God has promised to be there – loving us, strengthening us, giving us what we need to face each day.
No matter what happens, God will hold you close and see you through because you are so precious to Him.
tk cr Alexis and keep writing!!

Thank you for posting this. I understand they were meant for the writer of this blog but I needed to hear these words now, more than ever. God indeed sends His messages in the most unexpected of ways!
God Bless You.
