The Nightmare

Eh.
I wrote this for a contest one time in like two minutes, it's not that good in the first place, but on top of that I haven't touched or edited it since, so it's pretty terrible.
xD

Plunging deeper
Into darkness
The shadows envelope me,
Smother me,
I'm drowning.
Trying to tread water
Just isn't enough
I'm slipping under
The darkness grows stronger
Until I can't fight
Any longer.
Just before it
Drags me under
The light shines through
My eyes open
And I'm back where
I'm supposed to be.
My back against a wall
The tears stream down my face
Shaking from the fear
That should have gone
But somehow still presides.
Your worried face
Your comforting arms
Your whispered promises
That everything will be
Alright.
It's almost good enough
To believe you.
But I know that eventually
I'll have to close my eyes
And the monsters
And the dark
And the cold, black water
Will still be waiting.
Waiting for me.
Waiting for another nightmare.
