Pain and Serenity

dreams and nightmares

Dreams are moments of freedom

Nightmares are a dungeon in the mind

While these worlds never see eye to eye

They always stand side by side

Worlds that never collide

But always seem to be on everyone's mind

Dreams are sweet reality's that are tainted with fantasy

Always giving a person ease to see this scene until the end

A cinema that constantly plays in one's head

A never-ending symphony of possibilities

No what if's wander near these sweet fabrications

Although these are soon to be publications

Headlines one after the other

Someone following their dream and making it a reality

To show that these fantasies can be sweet

There is also a saying

There is too much of a good thing

Too much happiness that bleeds

Not enough tragedy

How do they escape a perfect reality if there is no agony?

Pain is what helps us grow

Although it destroyed us and sticks to the bones

Nightmares are to help balance these fairy tale endings

To wake up to the freighting reality

Without fear you will never grow

Limited to the experience of a never dulling sun

Constant happiness is impossible to come by

Which is why sadness finds refuge in the cracks of hope

It is what balances a person and keeps us whole

No pain means no lessons

Which is no agony

But a pity all on its own

It is okay to feel broken but to never give in

That's when nightmares will cast you in

To make cruel fates seem real

Staring face to face with the who you once were

Now drowning in expectations of what could have been

Nightmare are meant to humble the soul

Although frightening it shows what happens when an ego is to show

When greed finally hits

To wallow in self-pity like you roll in mud as a kid

Painting your own demise this is all written as it is

Nightmares show personal growth but also what is buried deep in the mind

What kindness hides in a prison so divine

Dreams and nightmares go hand and hand

There is no way to end it there

Just to accept the fact for what it is

Dreams show you what you could be

Nightmares show you the uncensored reality
