Waking Up Into A Nightmare

I'm sleeping
It's peaceful
I don't feel fear
I have a smile on my face
But then I hear my name
I jump up
I'm scared
I hear my mum sobbing and whimpering
And I hear my dad yelling
I see my dad hitting her
I see the hopelessness in her eyes
And the anger in his
My breath quickens
I can't bare this not again
Then I hear laughing
It brings me back to reality
Which I'm thankful for
I sigh with relief
It's only happening in my head
It happens every time someone wakes me up
Instead of waking up from a nightmare
I wake up into a nightmare
It's a horrible thing
But my friends don't understand
They just see it as a good laugh
But they don't know what I see
What I hear
What I feel
To be waken is a nightmare that is near to unbearable
