A crowd surrounds you making it hard to breath,
Suffocating from the disappearance of oxygen you begin to heave,
Wanting to hide but cannot find a way to leave,
Their words and lies in your mind interweave,
Fore your mind can also be deceived,
Not only by words but what we perceive,
You open your eyes at last to see,
Your bedroom where you alas remember we're asleep.
