Bad Dreams

Today I wanted to abandon my unpleasant dreams Of past failures and evil people with horrid schemes Dreams that move across my mind like a wild train Traveling aimlessly to the darkest part of my brain I was disturbed by bright colored cinematic scenes The dreams showed old foes acting much too serene As their young children were put to sleep for good I realized they were boy scouts likely misunderstood The calm inside it could not slow this rickety train And I knew such schemers would never feel any pain But then I developed paranoia and sudden withdrawal That resulted in me dreaming of a tall border wall Where people I do not know were climbing up high Then I woke up to a window view of a dark cloudy sky
