Nightmares (One of my very first pieces)

Bad dream in the night
The man wouldn't stop shouting at me
He was harsh and mean and unkind to me
And not just him
But the whole crowd that laughed around me

Bad dream in the night
I knew that man very well
He taught me twice
Rather once
But the subjects were two of a kind
The ground started to shake
Or maybe I was the one shaking
Out of fear, weakness and pain

Bad dream in the night
It wasn't nice
It wasn't happy
It was sad and depressing
Please don't happen in real life.

NOTE TO SELF:
       I post this to remind myself of how much I have grown
       I post this to remind myself of where I began
       I post this as a reminder that I am stronger now, than I was then
       I post this as proof that things do not work overnight. It takes time, patience and passion
       I post this as proof that indeed things get better, they are better now... and will keep getting better

NOTE TO YOU, YES YOU... my reader:
                             You can't forget the old you, because of the new you, you have become
                              Does that mean you live in the past?
                              No! I mean... appreciate the old you for getting you where you are now
                              A winner! Keep working towards a better you for yourself and others
