My pillow used as a shield
Blocking out light and sound
My shield scares me too though
Blocking the light from my eyes
As I hear the wind
I throw my shield to the ground
Gulp for air and open my eyes
To the light
Which reveals nothing but
Stained carpet and a snoring
Golden retriever
My blanket like cage
Locking me in for nothing
To get through
I lock it, throwing it over me
But it keeps in the heat
Making my legs shake
I unlock it, throwing to the ground
Along with my sheild
The chilled air sweeps over my legs
I breath slowly
My bed like a boat
So I can't reach the ground
I sink into it
Until it creaks
I jump overboard
My heart racing
The relief is chilly in my bones
I startle the cat lying on the chair
My furniture like a set
I star in a play
My carpet my stage
I step back into a curtain
Which shadow reflects on the wall  as
A wave swallowing my body
I get on my boat
Listening to my heart pound
I finally close  my eyes
With the hope  of sweet dreams
