Deep In Thought

I start in a dark space
Look to the left
Then to the right
I wonder where I am

Just as I opened my mouth to speak
Stars appear above me
5 stars
15 stars
50 stars
100 stars
1000 stars
Soon they fill all of the darkness
Even when i look down
I seem to be floating
There are stars everywhere

The next thing that I know
The stars begin to produce a bright light
I blink one and I and in a forest
Full of many different greens
From flowers
To trees
To thousands of different animals
Crowding around me

I go to pet one
My hand making its way towards the little deer
Just when my hand lightly touched the deer’s head
CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP
The innocent deer turned into a monster
I looked around as all of the other animals turned too
Like a magic spell being casted upon them

Faces melting
Teeth growing
Like in a horror movie
They all stood there
Staring as their eyes all fell

They lunged forward
Trapping me underneath
I start to suffocate
Lions eating its prey
That’s what they are

Just as they were about to start another wave
I jolt up in a cold sweat
Breathing heavily
Like it would be my last
I look over at the lighted lilac alarm clock
Laying just beside my bed

4:37 it read

I sigh
Rolling over back onto my side
Not wanting to go back inside my mind

Just a dream i thought

It was all just a dream
