I wished it was a dream
It was dark and raining cats and dogs,
All I want to do is close my eyes,
As I close my eyes I see a dark fog
I wished I couldn't hear their cries
I wished it was just a mere nightmare
It was three years ago when I was child
I was sleeping soundly in my comfy bed like a baby,
Smoke billowed the air with wild
I am feeling terrified and my body becomes shaky
I tell to myself “This is just a dream”
Then, I heard this chilling scream,
Every bone and blood freezes until my soul
Now, I know it’s not a dream
I really want to crawl into a hole
I didn’t want to face the reality
I know I must be a brave kid
I know my parents will come and get me
I walk to my parent’s room hoping they would hold me
I see two bodies on the ground that would never hear my plea
I scream “Mom, Dad don't leave me”
I see the fire approaching me but I still stand motionless
I know I will be seeing them soon in the heavens
Then I hear this voice, it was sweet and soft with loveliness
Everything becomes darker and I shut my senses
Unconsciously I ask myself “Am I in heaven yet”?
This light was shinning so brightly
It took my eyes awhile to adjust to the brightness
A man dressed in white standing next to me talks to me softly
That was when I realised I was in a hospital and my heart tightness
The man told me “It will be alright” but I know it will never be
That was what happened three years ago
It doesn't stop no matter how hard I try
My tears, they will always flow
Every night before I go to bed I’ll cry
And I’ll always say, “I wished it was a dream”
