Dreams can be gifts

they can be happy

make you overjoyed

they can make you cry with happiness

or fill your life with kindness

They make you think of memories

or study back your past

But they can also strike you to stare make you shrivel in fear

put you crying in the face of danger

pull you emotions inside out

make your happiness crumble

stake you through the heart

and make you sew it up with the needle

from the compass that showed the way

they can put you face to face with demons

make you watch your loved ones die

take away your mouth & put you in the crowd

so that you can hear the children's blood curdling screams

you can see their faces light up with terror

they can scar you so

you will never be loved again

you try hard to wake up

but never see the end

so feel you must you won't ever fit in again

walk out in public & people seeing your baggy eyes

& scorching throat, will stare

but this only the beginning

of your never ending nightmare.
