"Your nightmares follow you like a shadow, forever."

Some of us are terrified of sleep because of the endless hours of nightmares that ensue. Some of us are terrified of being awake for the same reason. What's even worse is when you're not safe either way. Whether it be being awake or asleep, it doesn't matter. Wherever you go the nightmares follow. Nowhere feels safe. Nothing feels safe. It feels like its all in your head and sometimes it is but other times you're not so lucky. Other times, your nightmares become reality. You could be living your wildest dreams but yet also your darkest of nightmares. That's just how life is. Take love for example, it can be the most beautiful of dreams but quickly turn into the worst of nightmares. The very person who you used to daydream about can easily become someone who will leave you with so many nightmares. It's crazy honestly. Nightmares come in many different forms and mine always end the same way. No, correction they never truly end. I just pretend they're not there cause I know they will always leave me with the feeling of regret. And I realize now that our nightmares are always reoccurring, but never our most beautiful dreams.
