You heaved heavily while your eyes were shut.
You keep on panting as if you're running out of air shot.
Your mouth was trembling, making you whine so loud.
Your tears were streaming continously as  you were hysterically shouting for a help at the crowd.

You tried to eacape from the tight grips but they were strong enough to pull and push you into the lake.
You tried to give a fight while sobbing but your system won't cooperate for your sake.
You tried to gasp to breathe but they strangle your neck very tightly causing you to drown so quick.
You tried to plead to spare your lifeline but no one listen, until you felt weak.

Aching heart on bended knees.
Bloodshot eyes due to tears.
Annoying sound due to sobs and whips.
Uncontrolled breath due to mixed sensations of shock and extreme fears.

And so as you stay alarmed, you asked for help right after you got awake.
You even yelped for a comfort to calm your frightened state.
And when someone approached you, you sighed as a relief when you felt at ease,
But not until he said, "It's just a nightmare, stop being dramatic.", your heart started to crumble as you felt a great ache.

Your world halted and many thoughts began to ponder on your small-little head.
"Why can't they understand your situation, what is the problem?
Why does no one care at your most troubled times, what is their problem?
Why people loves to hurt our heart unintentionally with those harsh words, are you the problem?"

He kept on saying, "It's just a nightmare, it's nothing, so forget it."
But sadly, it not just a bad dream to you at all, that's why you crazily care about it.

How awful people are, how horrible nightmares are.
