Nightmare Dreamscape

cold air touches
your nose;
blankets pulled up
to your chin
can't keep
the cold off.

somewhere over
the rainbow,
you're floating through
your worst imaginings.

little green monsters
and purple buzzing things
chase you over cloud tops
(apiphobia and
nephophobia).

you never got
on well with
the sky.

running through
the forest
(dendrophobia)
with a million
little sharp thoughts
chasing after you
(anxiety disorder).

your girlfriend's
standing in your way,
lets the thoughts
tear into your flesh,
and adds her own burden:
where are we going?
(commitment issues)

fleeing, you
come across a
group of furry,
scrawny puff balls,
all foaming at the mouth.
(musophobia)
scream tears your
throat as you
try to hide from
yourself.

wake up,
panting,
dial the number.

your psychiatrist's
going to have a field
day with this
(nosocomephobia).
