Flood



Waking up by surrounded by water
Falling down your face
On your bed
You look out the window
And in the reflection
You see water coming down your face
 
 
Wonder where the water is coming from
You lift your head
To stop the water falling down your face
Suddenly a big wave hits you
 
And it is now hard
To stop the water
Your drained after it has all gone
You want to go back to bed
But your eyes hurt when you close them
 
You thought the waterfall had
Finished
But your face is scarred
With water stains.​
