My Heart is pounding in my chest
The nightmare is still fresh in my head
I lift up a humble prayer
Sweat breaks out on my brow
The Silence seems to echo
My blankets don't hide me from it
I take a deep shaky breath
I know that God has me in his hand
I need not fear what is in my mind
The Nightmare resurfaces again
It gnaws at my soul and mind
I just want to sleep in peace
Come, Morning, quick!
Take away the dark of nightmares
Shine light through my blinds
I long to hear the birds sing
Not the nightmare's howl
You use good images to create the sense of fear - "silence seems to echo", "gnaws at my soul and mind". I like the line "shine light through my blinds". Your ending stanza is a good way to end with a comparison. Good job!
