Nightmare

I woke up from a nightmare into another nightmare As the lights swooned and the clouds became clear I thought morning came But it was the beginning of another nightmare The sun shines, the wind blows, birds are singing, farmers are farming, I thought morning came But it was all another nightmare Should I not have woken up? Should I have stayed in the first nightmare? Do nightmares become better? Or it gets worse? The brightness gives the assurance that a bright new day is here But the nightmare continues It squashes the hope I have. But I need to sleep, I need to continue sleeping No matter how long the night is No matter how many times I fall into other nightmares I need to continue sleeping Because One day, I will wake up I will wake up into a bright morning I will wake up into a new day I will wake up And it would not be another nightmare I would have really met the morning.

Thanks for sharing this. God bless you. Welcome to PS. (Your poem is great, but please check definition of Acrostic for the "form.")
