Brisa Maia - Fear

I can feel my nostrils fill up with water
I can taste my fear, its drowning me
I am struggling to breathe
I scream and yell but the water drowns out the sound
No one can hear me
I see the surface, so bright
The moon and stars, light
Up there it is night
But I sink down farther into the blackness I am helpless
My heart fills up with fright
I am dead now, drifting, floating
I know it is all as it seems
I awake with a gasp, a cold, damp sweat
It was just a dream
