My Nightmare

Careful, a voice echoed throughout me

it warned me, it advised me

I paid not heed to what it meant

before I realized it was all too late

death kissed me, my soul caged now

in a dark deep pit, I suffocate

a flame lights up, is it fire, I seize.

will it indulge me in, I scream

a hand pulled me up

releasing me into the sky above

I looked hard, but couldn’t see

the unsung hero who set me free.
