Dysfunctional dreams
Make it hard to breath
I sigh in relief
When I realize it was just a dream
And no harm has come to me

Another night spent shifting
Slowly drifting into sleep then waking up in fear
Shedding a few frightful tears
Maybe in a few years
I will no longer have to fear these dysfunctional dreams

Some say sleep comes easy
I don't think that makes sense
I must be a delinquent to sleep
dome use the word dreamy
that's when fear runs through me

Scared to sleep
scared to dream
scared of what's inside of me
scared to see another dysfunctional dream crash through my body
making me scream
as the stream of my tear runs down my cheek

In all honesty
sometimes I think
that I just might be
someone else's dysfunctional dream
destroying them like they destroy me
waking them up
hoping they see that I need released
I just need set free
I don't want to be
a dysfunctional dream.
