Some dreams feel too real
To be able to swim out of them
Before daylight hits the hem
Of my curtains that conceal
And protect me from the darkness
That surrounds the outside world
But not for long
For they are not so strong
And the bright lights
Seeps through the heights
Of my protectors
And destroy all my knights
I created to stand beside
My bed when I dream
To calm me down when I scream
But they are all burnt to dust
Before I'm brought to rest.
