Late Night

Fresh and bright white sheets
Oblivious of my surroundings
So cold, i cant feel my feet
lost in limbo with my mind wandering

Late night, deep in my sleep

I see darkness in nothingness
Tossing and turning but can not wake
I try to scream but silence nonetheless
Helpless like i'm in an abandoned lake

I fight, push and shove
hopelessly like falling into an abyss
I think of family and the ones i love
Is this my last moment? can i hear the snake hiss?

Late night, deep in my sleep

All hope seems lost. What an excruciating pain
Then i remember His holy name and scream
JESUS!!
Breathing and sweating profusely
Bright lights wake me with shouts of 'up Nepa'
Sigh of relief

Late night, deep in my sleep.
